Ingredients

  • Ingredients You’ll Need
  • Nothing weird. Nothing expensive. Just solid dependable ingredients doing their job.
  • For the crust
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • For the creamy layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened (non-negotiable)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 8 oz container Cool Whip, thawed
  • For the blueberry topping
  • 1 21 oz can blueberry pie filling
  • That’s it. Yes really.

Instructions

  • Make the crust.
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until everything looks evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish. Use the back of a spoon or your hand—confidence helps here.
  • Chill the crust.
  • Pop the dish into the fridge for about 15 minutes. This helps the crust set so it doesn’t crumble when slicing later. Patience pays off.
  • Beat the cream cheese layer.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then mix again until creamy and fluffy.
  • Fold in the Cool Whip.
  • Gently fold in the Cool Whip using a spatula. Don’t overmix—we want fluffy, not sad and flat. Think soft clouds, not pancake batter.
  • Spread the creamy layer.
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth it out so every bite gets the good stuff.
  • Add the blueberry topping.
  • Spread the blueberry pie filling gently over the cream layer. Try not to swirl unless you’re going for “artsy chaos.”
  • Chill like a pro.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better. This is when the magic happens.
