Description

Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted

Filling:

  • 2 packages (8 ounces/226 grams each) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 box (3.4 ounces/96 grams) instant lemon pudding mix
  • 1 tub (16 ounces/454 grams) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Topping:

  • 1 can (21 ounces/595 grams) blueberry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Craft the foundation by blending graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until uniformly moistened. Reserve a small portion for garnishing, then firmly compress the remaining mixture into a 13 x 9-inch dish, creating a solid base. Refrigerate while preparing subsequent layers.
  2. Whip cream cheese and sugar using an electric mixer until achieving a light, airy texture. Gradually incorporate lemon juice and milk, ensuring smooth integration. Introduce lemon pudding mix, beating until the mixture transforms into a silky, robust consistency. Delicately distribute the lemon cream across the chilled crust, maintaining an even surface.
  3. Strategically dollop blueberry pie filling atop the lemon layer, gently spreading to prevent disrupting the underlying cream. Focus on minimal manipulation to preserve layer integrity.
  4. Lavish the dessert with a generous blanket of thawed whipped topping, creating a cloud-like covering. Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs for an added textural dimension and visual appeal.
  5. Refrigerate for minimum 2 hours to allow complete setting. Once chilled, slice into portions and serve. Store remaining servings in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Swap graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour cookies for celiac or gluten-sensitive diets, ensuring everyone can enjoy this delightful dessert.
  • Reduce sugar content by using low-fat cream cheese and sugar-free pudding mix, making the recipe more diabetes-friendly without compromising taste.
  • Enhance blueberry layer with fresh blueberries instead of pie filling for a healthier, less processed option that adds natural sweetness and vibrant color.
