Print Recipe

A simple, fresh, and forgiving no-bake dessert combining tangy lemon and sweet blueberries in a smooth, velvety filling with a buttery graham cracker crust. Perfect for summer gatherings and quick last-minute treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • Optional garnish: extra blueberries, lemon slices or zest curls, mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl until mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in fresh blueberries delicately to avoid breaking them.
  7. Pour the filling over the chilled crust, spreading evenly. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  8. Before serving, garnish with extra blueberries, lemon slices, or mint leaves if desired. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean edges.

Notes

Soften cream cheese ahead of time to avoid lumps. Whip cream to soft peaks only to prevent grainy texture. Press crust firmly and chill before adding filling to prevent crumbling. Avoid freezing the pie as it can make the texture grainy. Let pie sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for best texture.
