Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
Lemon Layer Ingredients
- 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 3.4 oz. box instant lemon pudding mix
Blueberry Layer
- 21 oz. can blueberry pie filling
Topping
- 16 oz. tubs frozen whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Reserve 1/2 cup of this mixture for topping later. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch dish to form an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the lemon layer.
- Make the Lemon Layer: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add lemon juice and 2% milk, mixing thoroughly to combine. Sprinkle in the dry instant lemon pudding mix and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Spread this lemon mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
- Add the Blueberry Layer: Carefully spoon the blueberry pie filling over the lemon layer. Spread gently and evenly to cover the surface completely without mixing into the lemon layer.
- Apply the Whipped Topping: Spread the thawed whipped topping over the blueberry layer in a smooth, even layer. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs on top for added texture and decoration.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Enjoy this cool, creamy, and fruity no bake dessert!

- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.

- Use a 13 x 9-inch baking dish for best results and layering.
