- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
For the Lemon Layer:
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) lemon instant pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
For the Blueberry Layer:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (or use blueberry pie filling if desired)
For the Top Layer:
- 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
- Lemon zest and additional blueberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, melted butter, and chopped pecans. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
- Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped cream. Spread this mixture over the cooled crust.
- Lemon Layer: In another bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mix and cold milk for about 5 minutes or until the pudding starts to thicken. Spread the lemon pudding over the cream cheese layer.
- Blueberry Layer: Evenly distribute the fresh blueberries (or blueberry pie filling) over the lemon pudding layer.
- Top Layer: Spread the whipped cream over the blueberry layer. Garnish with lemon zest and additional blueberries.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
You can make a homemade blueberry sauce by simmering blueberries, sugar, and a bit of lemon juice, then letting it cool before adding it as a layer.
