Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • Graham cracker crumbs – crunchy foundation of greatness
  • Melted butter – because crumbs need glue
  • A little sugar – optional but why skip joy?
  • For the creamy layer:
  • Cream cheese softened – softened is non-negotiable
  • Powdered sugar – smooth no-grit sweetness
  • Whipped topping or homemade whipped cream – fluffy magic
  • Vanilla extract – subtle but important
  • For the blueberry topping:
  • Blueberry pie filling – classic and convenient
  • OR
  • Homemade blueberry sauce – if you’re feeling extra respect

Instructions

  • Make the crust.
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until it looks like damp sand. Press it firmly into the bottom of your dish. Use the back of a spoon or your hand—commit to it. Pop it in the fridge to chill while you move on.
  • Whip the cream layer.
  • Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then mix again. Fold in the whipped topping gently so it stays light and fluffy. Don’t overmix—this isn’t an arm workout.
  • Assemble the layers.
  • Spread the cream mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Take your time here; neat layers make everything more satisfying later.
  • Add the blueberry topping.
  • Spoon the blueberry filling over the cream layer and spread gently. Try not to swirl unless you’re going for a marbled look (still tasty, just less “layered dessert” energy).
  • Chill like you mean it.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is better. This is where the magic happens.
