How to Make Creamy No-Bake Blueberry Delight

1. Make the crust. Mix graham crumbs, melted butter and sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish and chill for 15 minutes.
2. Beat the cream cheese. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
3. Fold in the topping. Gently fold in the whipped topping.
4. Spread the cream layer. Spread the cream mixture evenly over the crust.
5. Add the blueberries. Stir the fresh blueberries and lemon zest into the pie filling and spoon it over the cream layer.
6. Chill and slice. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, then cut into squares.

Tips for the Best Results

• Chill the crust first so the cream layer spreads easily.
• Use an offset spatula for smooth, even layers.
• Clean your knife between cuts for neat squares.

Variations

• Cherry delight: Use cherry pie filling instead.
• Mixed berry: Add raspberries and blackberries.
• Pudding layer: Add a layer of vanilla pudding between the cream and fruit.

What to Serve With It
