Ingredients
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust
- 2 cups crushed graham cracker pieces (about 14 large crackers)
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 10 tbsp melted butter
Cream Cheese Layer
- 1 package (8 oz) softened cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz tub whipped topping (half used in this layer)
Blueberry Topping
- 1 can (21 oz) blueberry pie filling
Whipped Topping and Garnish
- 8 oz tub whipped topping (remaining half)
- Extra graham cracker crumbs (optional)
Instructions
- Make and Chill the Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups crushed graham cracker pieces, 1/3 cup white sugar, and 10 tbsp melted butter. Stir well until the mixture is evenly moistened and has a wet sand-like texture. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan to form the crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes to allow the crust to set.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: Using a stand or hand mixer, beat together the 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and half (8 oz) of the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy. Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
- Add the Blueberry Topping: Evenly spread 1 can (21 oz) of blueberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, making sure to cover the entire surface. This layer adds sweetness and a vibrant fruity flavor to the dessert.
- Finish with Whipped Topping and Chill: Gently spread the remaining half (8 oz) of the whipped topping over the blueberry layer, covering it completely. For an attractive finish, sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbs on top if desired. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure it sets well and the flavors meld perfectly.
Notes
- For best results, chill the dessert longer than 2 hours to allow full flavor melding and firm setting.
- Use fresh crushed graham crackers for extra crunchy texture when sprinkling on top.
- This dessert is best served cold, straight from the refrigerator.
- Can be prepared a day ahead for convenience.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
