Description
A delightful layered dessert combining creamy lemon cheesecake and sweet blueberry filling over a graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 cups whipped topping, divided
- 1 can (21 oz) blueberry pie filling
- Extra whipped topping for decorating
- Fresh blueberries
- Thin lemon slices or lemon zest curls
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish and refrigerate.
- Make the Lemon Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
- Prepare the Lemon Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the lemon pudding mixture, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, mixing until silky. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups whipped topping.
- Assemble the Layers: Spread half of the lemon cheesecake filling over the crust, top with blueberry pie filling, then add the remaining cheesecake filling and smooth the top.
- Chill the Dessert: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
- Decorate and Serve: Pipe or spread whipped topping over the dessert, garnish with blueberries, lemon slices, and dust with powdered sugar. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- For best results, chill the dessert overnight.
