Description
This Blueberry Delight is a creamy, no-bake dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, luscious cream cheese filling, and a sweet blueberry topping. Perfect for summer gatherings, it’s quick to assemble and always a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 16 whole crackers, crushed)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed (or homemade whipped cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (21 oz) blueberry pie filling
- Fresh blueberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into a 9×13-inch pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to set.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes with a hand mixer).
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping with a spatula until just combined and fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing into the corners.
- Carefully spoon the blueberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer and spread gently to avoid mixing the layers.
- Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or foil and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (overnight is best) to set.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh blueberries if desired. Slice into squares and serve cold.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and let it soften at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. Chill thoroughly for clean slices. You can swap the blueberry topping for other fruit fillings, use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free version, or dairy-free alternatives for a vegan option. The dessert can be made up to 2 days ahead and freezes well in individual portions.
