Ingredients

Scale

Crust

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

Creamy Lemon Layer

  • 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

Topping

  • 21 oz. can blueberry pie filling
  • 16 oz. tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • Reserved graham cracker crumbs (from crust mixture), for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, reserving some crumbs for topping. Press the mixture firmly into a 13 x 9 inch dish to form the crust. Refrigerate to set while preparing the rest of the dessert.
  2. Make the creamy lemon layer: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in lemon juice and 2% milk until smooth. Slowly add the instant lemon pudding mix, blending well to create a creamy lemon filling.
  3. Assemble lemon layer: Spread the creamy lemon mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
  4. Add blueberry topping: Spoon the blueberry pie filling carefully over the lemon layer and gently spread it out to cover.
  5. Finish with whipped topping: Spread thawed whipped topping evenly over the blueberry layer. Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs on top if desired for added texture and garnish.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and flavors to meld, before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute regular milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version, but texture may vary slightly.
  • For a more intense lemon flavor, add lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Use a sturdy spatula or spoon to press the crust firmly into the pan to avoid crumbling.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated for the best flavor.
