No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert

How about let’s NOT turn the oven on today. No bake desserts are fantastic and No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert is no exception. Tart lemon meets sweet blueberry with added goodness of cream cheese and a graham cracker crust. Easy to make (easier to eat) and fun to serve with the pretty layers.

Let’s face it, it’s always more fun to serve and eat something that’s pretty. No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert is definitely pretty. The buttery golden graham cracker crust, the soft yellow of the lemon pudding, and the vibrant blue of the blueberry pie filling. Lovely!

Throw on some Cool Whip for a bright white topping and a sprinkle of more crumbs. So pretty to serve.

But how does it taste? Delicious! Everyone loves a buttery graham crack crust, and tart lemon cream cheese is just decadent.

Then you’ve got that sweet layer of blueberries, which is such a compliment to lemon. Topped with Cool Whip and a light sprinkling of the crust…so good.

I sincerely hope you love this as much as I do.

The convenience of a 13 x 9 dessert

Baking for a local rescue mission, I am blessed with the challenges of feeding in quantity.

When I can alter a recipe from a small version to a larger 13 x 9, I definitely will.

They also travel really well, especially when you buy the foil pans with the clear plastic lids.

So, if you’re baking for a group or a large family, you’ll love this recipe.

Delicious layers

Layer your dessert beginning with the buttered graham cracker crumbs. Save about a half cup for the topping, although this is optional.

Let the bottom set up in the frig while you work on the next layer. 

The second layer is your lemon pudding and cream cheese with a blast of tart lemon juice. Mmm.

When making the lemon layer, add the dry pudding mix last as directed in the recipe.

The pudding starts to thicken up as soon as it hits that milk and cream cheese, so make sure it’s thoroughly mixed, but then pour onto the crust.

If it feels a little thick, it’ll serve you better to drop this layer onto the crust in dollops using a large spoon or your spatula, then spread gently to not lift the crust.

This thickness helps keep the blueberries from sinking in.

Next, add that beautiful blue/purple layer of blueberry pie filling. Are you getting hungry yet? I am.

Last, but not least, add your Cool Whip and optional crumbs for the top layer. 

Once all your layers are in place, let this beautiful dessert set up in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

Typically, I make mine in the morning for that evening, or I make it a day ahead of time, so it sits in the frig overnight.

One bite of this cool refreshing dessert and you’ll know the wait was worth it.
