A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring creamy lemon layers, fresh blueberries, and crunchy graham crackers, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 whole graham crackers (about 6 ounces / 170 grams)
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/3 cup (40 grams) powdered sugar, sifted
  • Zest and juice of 2 medium lemons
  • 1 ½ cups (225 grams) fresh blueberries, washed and dried
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  2. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream on high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, keeping the mixture light and airy.
  4. Stir in the lemon zest and juice of 2 medium lemons, adjusting for preferred tanginess.
  5. Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom of a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) pan.
  6. Break graham crackers into pieces that fit snugly in a single layer over the cream.
  7. Add a layer of fresh blueberries evenly on top.
  8. Repeat layering cream, graham crackers, and blueberries until ingredients are used, finishing with a cream layer on top (3-4 layers total).
  9. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the graham crackers soften and flavors meld.
  10. Slice into squares and serve cold, optionally garnished with lemon zest or fresh blueberries.

Notes

Do not overwhip the cream to avoid graininess. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Optionally brush graham crackers with melted butter before layering to help soften and add flavor. Use gluten-free crackers or dairy-free cream substitutes for dietary adaptations.
