A quick and easy no-bake summer dessert featuring a creamy lemon and blueberry filling with a buttery graham cracker crust. Perfectly refreshing and tangy, ideal for warm days and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • ¾ cup (240g) blueberry jam
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: fresh blueberries for garnish or folding into the filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter. Stir until evenly coated and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to set.
  2. Whip the cream: In a large, chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Mix the filling base: In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
  4. Incorporate blueberry jam: Gently fold blueberry jam into the cream cheese mixture. Adjust sweetness or lemon to taste.
  5. Fold in whipped cream: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and jam mixture to keep the airy texture.
  6. Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Serve and garnish: Before serving, garnish with fresh blueberries, lemon zest, or a light dusting of powdered sugar. Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften to avoid lumps. Chill pie overnight for best texture and flavor melding. Keep bowl and beaters cold when whipping cream. Fold whipped cream gently to maintain fluffiness. Zest lemon before juicing for best aroma.
