Ingredients

For the crust layer:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cream cheese layer:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
For the blueberry layer:
- 1 can (21 oz) blueberry pie filling
For topping:
- 1 ½ cups whipped topping (extra for top layer)
- Optional: fresh blueberries and crushed graham crackers for garnish
Instructions
This no-bake dessert is all about simple layering and chilling. Just follow these steps and you’ll have a creamy, dreamy treat ready in no time!
Step 1: Make the crust
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until fully coated and crumbly.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Place in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Make the cream cheese layer
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold in 1½ cups of whipped topping until light and fluffy.
Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
Step 3: Add the blueberry layer
Spoon the blueberry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer. Gently spread with a spatula so it covers the entire surface.
Step 4: Top it off
Spread the remaining whipped topping on top of the blueberry layer. Smooth it out for a pretty finish.
Optional: Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and fresh blueberries for extra flair.
Step 5: Chill
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours—or overnight if you can wait! This helps the layers set perfectly.

This dessert is perfect for feeding a crowd or keeping in the fridge for a few indulgent days!
- Servings: Makes about 12 generous squares (can stretch to 16 smaller portions if needed)
