Description

A refreshing and easy no-bake dessert featuring a graham cracker crust, a luscious lemon cream filling, and a vibrant blueberry topping, perfect for summer.


Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 ½ cups heavy cream, chilled
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice


Instructions

Step 1: For the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl until well mixed. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: For the lemon cream layer, in a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in the 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon lemon zest until fully combined.
Step 3: In a separate chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Step 4: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Spread this lemon cream mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
Step 5: For the blueberry topping, combine blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice.
Step 6: Allow the blueberry topping to cool completely to room temperature before spreading it over the lemon cream layer.
Step 7: Once the blueberry topping is cool, carefully spread it evenly over the lemon cream layer in the springform pan. Cover the cake loosely with plastic wrap.
Step 8: Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow all layers to set completely. Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra zesty kick, add an additional ½ teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture. If using frozen blueberries for the topping, do not thaw them before cooking, as this helps prevent a watery consistency. Ensure all ingredients for the cream layer are at room temperature for a lump-free result.
