No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert

No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert is a refreshing treat that layers tangy lemon flavor with sweet blueberries on a creamy base.

Equipment

  • - 8x8-inch baking dish (or similar)
  • Mixing bowls
  • - Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • - Rubber spatula

Ingredients
  

  • - 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers or lemon cookies
  • - 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • - 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • - 1/2 cup powdered sugar adjust to taste
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about half a lemon
  • - Zest of 1 lemon optional, for extra flavor
  • - 8 ounces whipped topping like Cool Whip, thawed
  • - 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries plus extra for garnish

Instructions
 

  • **Make the crust** In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers (or cookies) with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into an 8x8-inch baking dish to form an even layer. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
  • **Prepare the creamy filling** In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and optional lemon zest until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
  • **Assemble** Spread half of the lemon cream mixture over the chilled crust. Scatter blueberries evenly on top. Spoon the remaining lemon cream mixture over the berries, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  • **Chill** Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until the dessert is set. For best results, chill overnight.
  • **Serve** Garnish with extra blueberries or a sprinkle of lemon zest before slicing. Enjoy cold.
