Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham crackers, crushed (about 12 full crackers)
- 1/4 cup sugar
Filling
- 1 package (3.4 oz) lemon pudding mix
- 1/2 cup milk (for the pudding mix)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and sugar together. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish to create an even crust layer.
- Make the lemon pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk the lemon pudding mix with 1/2 cup cold milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
- Prepare cream cheese mixture: In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined and fluffy.
- Combine pudding and cream cheese mixtures: Slowly fold the lemon pudding into the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture, blending thoroughly to create a smooth, luscious filling.
- Assemble the dessert: Spread half of the cream cheese and pudding mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust. Sprinkle half of the blueberries over this layer. Repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture and top with the remaining blueberries for an appealing layered effect.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld perfectly.
- Serve: Once chilled, slice into 12 servings and enjoy this cool, creamy, and fruity dessert lasagna.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain any excess liquid before layering to prevent sogginess.
- You can substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
- This dessert can be prepared a day ahead, making it convenient for parties and gatherings.
- Optional garnish: Add lemon zest or extra blueberries on top before serving for an enhanced presentation.
