How to Make No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert
Quick Overview
With just a bit of mixing and layering, this dessert is ready for the fridge in under 30 minutes. After a couple hours of chilling, it’s firm, fresh, and totally scoop-worthy.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant lemon pudding mix
- 1 (21 oz) can blueberry pie filling
- 1 (16 oz) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
Step-by-Step:
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Reserve 1/2 cup of the mixture for optional topping.
- Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of a 13×9-inch dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add lemon juice and milk; mix until smooth.
- Add the dry lemon pudding mix and beat just until thoroughly combined. The filling will be thick.
- Drop the lemon mixture by dollops over the crust and spread evenly and gently to avoid disturbing the crust.
- Spoon the blueberry pie filling over the lemon layer and gently spread into an even layer.
- Top with thawed whipped topping and sprinkle reserved graham cracker crumbs over the top, if using.
- Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Keep refrigerated.
What to Serve No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert With:
Serve it chilled with a glass of iced tea, lemonade, or even a fruity white sangria. Add a lemon twist or fresh mint sprig for extra flair. This dessert is lovely alongside grilled chicken, pasta salad, or at any picnic or potluck spread.
Top Tips for Perfecting No Bake Lemon Blueberry
- Soften the cream cheese fully to avoid lumps.
- Use a cold bowl when whipping for a firmer lemon layer.
- Spread toppings gently to preserve the clean layers.
- Don’t skimp on chill time—2 hours minimum for the best texture.
- Customize with other fruits like raspberries or strawberries for variation.
Storing and Reheating Tips
This dessert should be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days. It’s best served cold. Freezing is not recommended as the texture of the whipped topping and pudding can change upon thawing.
FAQs
Can I use homemade blueberry topping? Absolutely! Simmer blueberries with a bit of sugar and cornstarch for a quick, fresh alternative.
Can I use low-fat ingredients? Yes, but the texture and flavor might vary slightly. Full-fat cream cheese gives the richest result.
Can I make this a day ahead? Yes! In fact, the flavors improve with time. Make it the night before and chill overnight.
