Creating No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert is a breeze when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Crust:
– In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
– Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch round springform pan to form the crust.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
– In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
– Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until creamy and well combined.
– Stir in the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until the mixture is fluffy and holds stiff peaks.
3. Add Blueberries:
– Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to crush them.
4. Layer the Filling:
– Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing it with a spatula.
– Add a layer of blueberries on top, followed by the remaining cream cheese filling. Spread evenly.
5. Chill:
– Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
– Allow the dessert to chill for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight.
6. Serve:
– Once set, carefully remove the springform pan.
