This Lemon Blueberry Delight is the Dessert of The Summer

When the sun is shining and the weather is warm, the last thing I want to do is spend an entire afternoon baking dessert. Summer is so fleeting here in the Midwest, I want to make the most of it! And that’s where this lemon blueberry delight recipe comes in. You get a sweet treat, no baking needed.

Insanely Easy No-Bake Dessert

My lemon blueberry delight recipe starts with a buttery graham cracker crust base, layers on a light and fluffy whipped no-bake cheesecake layer, then finishes it off with blueberry pie filling and whipped topping. Can you say easy?! The hardest part is waiting to dig in!

(The lemon and blueberry combo in this recipe reminds me of summer! You’ll also love it in this Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake and my Lemon Blueberry Bars.)

• Graham cracker crumbs
• Unsalted butter melted

• Cream cheese softened
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Fresh lemon juice
• Lemon zest
• Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
• Blueberry pie filling
• Optional: extra lemon zest or fresh blueberries for garnish

How to Make No-Bake Blueberry Lemon Delight

Making the crust is the first step to making lemon blueberry delight.

• In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
• Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Chill while preparing the filling

Lemon Cheesecake Layer

Next, you make the cheesecake layer. No baking required so it is super easy! Here is what you need to do:

• In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat again until thick and creamy.
• Fold in the whipped topping (from the 8-ounce tub) until fully combined and fluffy.
• Spread evenly over the chilled crust.

Add the Blueberry Layer

This step is incredibly simple. I use canned blueberry pie filling but you can definitely make your own pie filling using fresh or frozen blueberries. Once you have your filling ready, you can spoon the blueberry pie filling over the lemon cheesecake layer and gently spread to cover.

Top With Whipped Topping

The thawed whipped topping is the last step to this delicious, no-bake, summery dessert. Once you have spread the whipped topping across the whole pan, it is ready to go into the freezer until you are ready to eat! How simple is that!

Notes for Blueberry Lemon Delight

• Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Use a sharp knife and clean between slices for neat layers.
• Want to serve it in individual cups or jars? Layer graham crumbs, cheesecake, blueberries, and topping in clear glasses for a pretty presentation!

Variations

Feel like getting a little bit creative? You can tweak this recipe in so many ways! Here are a few of my favorite variations.

• Make it an eclair cake. Instead of making a graham cracker crust for this lemon blueberry delight recipe, lay whole graham crackers at the bottom of the pan. Spread the cheesecake layer over the top, followed by another layer of graham crackers and the pie filling. The graham crackers will soften up and get cake-y, like they do in this No-Bake Chocolate Eclair Cake.
• Add more lemon flavor. A few drops of lemon extract will add more bright lemon flavor to the cheesecake layer.
• Switch up the flavors. You can use any flavor of fruit pie filling, not just blueberry! Strawberry and cherry pie filling would both work well.
