Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3.4 oz) lemon pudding mix
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 1/2 cups graham crackers, crushed (about 12 full crackers)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk (for the pudding mix)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding Mix:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mix and 1/2 cup milk according to the package instructions. Set aside and let it thicken for about 5 minutes. - Cream Cheese Layer:
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined. - Assemble the Dessert:
In a 9×9-inch or similar-sized baking dish, spread a layer of crushed graham crackers on the bottom to form the crust. - Add the Cream Cheese Layer:
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust, smoothing it into an even layer. - Add the Lemon Pudding Layer:
Pour the prepared lemon pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. - Top with Blueberries:
Sprinkle half of the blueberries evenly over the pudding layer. You can swirl some into the layers for extra flavor. - Repeat the Layers:
Add another layer of crushed graham crackers, followed by the remaining cream cheese mixture and pudding mixture. Top with the remaining blueberries for a burst of color and sweetness. - Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Frozen Blueberries: If you’re using frozen blueberries, let them thaw and drain excess liquid to avoid making the dessert soggy.
- Graham Crackers: For a richer crust, you can mix the crushed graham crackers with a bit of melted butter before pressing them into the pan.
- Flavor Variations: You can swap the blueberries for other berries like raspberries or strawberries, or even add a mix of berries for a colorful twist.
