This No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert is the perfect spring treat, offering a refreshing and light alternative to traditional desserts. With fresh blueberries, tangy lemon, and a creamy filling, it’s both easy to prepare and incredibly delicious—ideal for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 cup whipped cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pre-made graham cracker crust
Instructions
Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. You can use an electric mixer for faster results, or a whisk for a more hands-on approach.Add the Lemon Juice:
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and mix thoroughly. The lemon juice will give the filling a tangy contrast to the sweet cream cheese.Fold in the Whipped Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and lemon mixture, ensuring you don’t overmix so you retain that light, airy texture.Layer the Blueberries:
Add a generous layer of fresh blueberries to the bottom of the graham cracker crust. Then, spread the creamy filling over the top of the blueberries, smoothing it into an even layer.Chill the Dessert:
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the filling firm up.
Serve and Enjoy:
After chilling, slice the dessert into squares and serve. Garnish with extra blueberries and mint leaves if desired for a pop of color.
Notes
Substitutions: You can make this dessert dairy-free by swapping the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative and using coconut cream instead of whipped cream.
Sweetness: Adjust the sugar to taste. You can substitute granulated sugar with honey or stevia if you prefer a more natural sweetener.
Make-Ahead: This dessert can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge, allowing the flavors to develop even more.
