Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Lemon Filling
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (3.4 oz) box lemon instant pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
Blueberry Topping
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for extra tang)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated.
- Form the Crust Layer: Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Make the Lemon Layer: In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mix and cold milk until thickened.
- Combine with Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture, maintaining a light texture.
- Assemble the Lemon Layer: Spread the lemon filling evenly over the prepared crust layer.
- Prepare the Blueberry Topping: In a small bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with sugar and lemon juice (if using) to enhance sweetness and tang.
- Add Blueberry Layer: Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the lemon layer.
- Chill the Lasagna: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. Overnight chilling is best for maximizing flavor and texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing, fruity dessert experience.
Notes
- For extra tang, add lemon zest to the lemon filling or sprinkle over the top before serving.
- This dessert requires refrigeration time to set properly—plan ahead for best results.
- Substitute the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
- Fresh blueberries can be replaced with other berries such as raspberries or blackberries.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smoother lemon layer consistency.
