The Amazing Blueberry Cheesecake Dessert

Sweet dreams are made of this! You’ve gotta try this creamy blueberry cheesecake dessert! It whips up in just a few minutes and is completely delicious and addicting.


You’ll Need:

For the Crust:

  • 3 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs (or 2 sleeves of graham crackers, crushed)
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

For the Filling:

  • 2 - 8 oz. packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 8 oz. whipped topping, thawed
  • 21 oz. can of blueberry pie filling


Instructions:


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. (Note: I started with crumbs, but if you need to crush whole crackers in a food processor, do that step first.)
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 pan. Bake for 10-11 minutes.
  4. Remove crust from the oven and let cool.
  5. Meanwhile, use a hand mixer to mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
  6. Fold in the whipped topping.
  7. Spread the mixture evenly over graham crackers.
  8. Spread blueberry filling over the top. Chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. (I was impatient and placed mine in the freezer for an hour. It worked fine.)
  9. Cut into squares to serve.

NOTES:
This is such a great-tasting cheesecake dessert! It has that perfect graham cracker crust, creamy center, and berry topping people want from a cheesecake, but with the simplicity of a bar cookie. I’m definitely making this again soon! It was, dare I say, berry delicious.
