Description

This No-Bake Lemon Dazzling Blueberry Cream Cake is a refreshing and light dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust topped with a fluffy lemon-infused cream cheese and whipped cream filling. Fresh blueberries add a burst of sweetness and color, while optional lemon curd enhances the citrus flavor. Perfectly chilled and easy to prepare without any baking required.


Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup lemon curd (optional for extra lemon flavor)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  2. Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  3. Make the lemon cream cheese mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care to keep the texture light and fluffy.
  5. Assemble the cake: Spoon the creamy lemon mixture onto the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
  6. Add toppings: Top with fresh blueberries, arranging them in a decorative pattern. Optionally, drizzle with lemon curd for an extra burst of lemon flavor.
  7. Chill the cake: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cake to set.
  8. Serve: Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the light and refreshing flavors!

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for a rich texture.
  • You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuits if preferred.
  • Lemon curd is optional but adds a nice extra tangy touch.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead, making it ideal for entertaining.
