Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients You’ll Need
  • For the Buttery Crust
  • 12 graham crackers crushed into fine crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 8 tablespoons melted butter
  • For the Creamy Lemon Layer
  • 1 box 3.4 oz instant lemon pudding mix
  • 1½ cups half-and-half
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz whipped topping thawed
  • For the Blueberry & Topping Layers
  • 1 can 21 oz blueberry pie filling
  • 8 oz whipped topping thawed

Method
 

1. Build the Base

Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix in sugar, then drizzle in melted butter while blending until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press firmly into a 9×13-inch dish to form a solid crust. Chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes to set.

    Tip: Pack it tightly so it holds together when sliced.

2. Prepare the Lemon Filling

In a bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mix and half-and-half until smooth and slightly thickened. Let it rest for 5 minutes to firm up further. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until silky smooth. Add the pudding mixture and blend gently. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.

    3. Layer It Up

    Spread the lemon mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth it out into a clean, even layer.

      4. Add the Blueberry Layer

      Spoon the blueberry filling over the lemon layer. Gently spread it out—it doesn’t have to be perfect, a rustic look works beautifully here.

        5. Finish with a Fluffy Topping

        Spread the remaining whipped topping across the top, creating a soft, cloud-like finish.

          6. Chill & Set

          Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (overnight is even better). This step is key—don’t rush it! It allows the layers to firm up and slice cleanly.
