Blueberry Delight recipe

This Blueberry Delight is a layered dessert featuring a crunchy graham cracker crust, a smooth cream cheese layer, and a sweet blueberry topping. It’s a treat that balances flavors and textures for the perfect ending to any meal.

Ingredients:

• For the crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• For the cream cheese layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)
• For the blueberry layer:
  • 1 can (21 oz) blueberry pie filling
• For the topping:
  • 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • Fresh blueberries (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust:
   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
2. Make the cream cheese layer:
   In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping gently until fully incorporated. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
3. Add the blueberry layer:
   Pour the blueberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly.
4. Final topping:
   Spread the remaining whipped topping over the blueberry layer. Garnish with fresh blueberries if desired.
5. Chill and serve:
   Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to let the layers set. Slice and enjoy!
