Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Lemon Layer
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
Blueberry Layer
- 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup blueberry pie filling
Topping
- Additional whipped topping
- Fresh blueberries
- Lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form the crust layer. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the next layers.
- Make the Lemon Layer: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a mixer. Add powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice, then mix until creamy and well combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is fully incorporated and fluffy. Spread this lemon mixture evenly over the chilled crust layer.
- Prepare the Blueberry Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Carefully fold in the blueberry pie filling until just combined to maintain some texture and bursts of flavor. Spread this blueberry mixture evenly over the lemon layer.
- Add the Topping and Chill: Top the dessert with additional whipped topping, then garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon zest if desired. Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a brighter lemon flavor, add a small amount of lemon extract to the lemon layer mixture.
- This dessert holds its shape best when thoroughly chilled, so ensure it gets enough time in the refrigerator.
- You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with vanilla wafers or crushed golden Oreos for a different crust flavor.
