A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring creamy lemon layers, juicy blueberries, and soft vanilla wafers, perfect for summer and impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • Zest of 2 medium lemons
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 20–24 vanilla wafer cookies or graham crackers
  • 2 cups (300 g) fresh blueberries
  • Optional garnishes: extra lemon zest or thin lemon slices, fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  2. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula until uniform and creamy.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish.
  5. Place a single layer of vanilla wafers or graham crackers over the cream, covering the surface without overlapping too much.
  6. Sprinkle a generous handful of blueberries evenly over the cookie layer, then spread another layer of cream mixture on top.
  7. Repeat layering until you run out of cream or cookies, finishing with a cream layer on top.
  8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  9. Before serving, garnish with extra lemon zest or fresh mint if desired. Slice into squares and enjoy chilled.

Notes

Use cold cream and a chilled bowl for whipping cream faster. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Overnight chilling yields best texture. Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained. Gluten-free and dairy-free substitutions are possible.
