A creamy, luscious no-bake dessert featuring layers of blueberries and cheesecake-style filling.
Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- 9x13 inch Dish
- Hand Mixer
Ingredients
Crust
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cup Melted butter
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 oz Whipped topping such as Cool Whip
Topping
- 1 can Blueberry pie filling (21 oz)
- 8 oz Whipped topping additional, for topping
Garnish
- Crushed graham cracker crumbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the mixture is well blended and resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish to create a firm crust. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the next layer.
- Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Gently fold in the first 8 oz of whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Layer the Dessert: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust, taking care to cover all the edges.
- Add the Blueberry Topping: Spoon the blueberry pie filling over the entire cream cheese layer, and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Final Touches: Top the dessert with the remaining 8 oz of whipped topping, spreading it gently over the blueberry layer. If desired, sprinkle additional crushed graham cracker crumbs on top for a finishing touch.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set. Once chilled, slice and serve cold for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest and creamiest base. Let Blueberry Delight chill overnight for best flavor.
