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)
- 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.
- 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.
- Assemble lemon layer: Spread the creamy lemon mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
- Add blueberry topping: Spoon the blueberry pie filling carefully over the lemon layer and gently spread it out to cover.
- 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.
- 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.
