Blueberry Delight

March 22, 2024 - Country Cooking

Blueberry Delight is creamy and delicious with 4 awesome layers. Perfect for potlucks and picnics and it is a breeze to put together. This is such an easy dessert that goes by many names- “Blueberry YumYum”, “Blueberry Dream”, “Blueberry Lush”, and “Blueberry Bliss”. Whatever you call it, be sure to put it on your “To Do” List soon. It’s so creamy, dreamy, and good.

No-Bake Dessert

Except for a quick 8 minutes to bake the graham cracker crust, this is a no-bake dessert that’s great for warm weather entertaining.

I love cool and creamy make-ahead desserts like this one and Butterfinger Lush, Butterscotch Lush, and Lemon Lush.

Blueberry Delight starts with a graham cracker crust with a few ground pecans mixed in for extra flavor.

Next comes a creamy cream cheese layer followed by 2 cans of blueberry pie filling. So easy!

You could probably get away with using one can, but I like to use 2 for lots of blueberry flavor.

On top, a layer of whipped topping. I typically use Cool Whip since it is so convenient, but feel free to make homemade whipped cream. It will be even better.

Before serving, I like to sprinkle a few fresh blueberries on top.

Variations

Add a nutty topping. Add chopped toasted pecans, walnuts, or almonds on top for some nutty crunch.

Use a different flavor pie filling to change this recipe up. Both cherry and strawberry work well as does peach.

Recipe Tip

If you don’t want to bake the crust, you can freeze it for 20 minutes instead.

Make Ahead Dessert

This recipe should be made at least 2 hours in advance because it needs time to chill and set in the refrigerator.

How To Store

Wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
