Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk (for pudding mix)
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
- Prepare the Lemon Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk the instant lemon pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk until thickened, approximately 2 minutes. Refrigerate the pudding to set while preparing other layers.
- Mix the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. For added sweetness, you may add a tablespoon of powdered sugar, mixing well.
- Assemble the Lasagna – First Layer: In a serving dish or lasagna pan, spread an even layer of graham cracker crumbs to form the base.
- Second Layer – Cream Cheese: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker layer, smoothing with a spatula.
- Third Layer – Lemon Pudding: Spoon half of the lemon pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Fourth Layer – Blueberries: Sprinkle half of the fresh blueberries evenly over the pudding layer.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers in the same order: graham crackers, remaining cream cheese mixture, remaining lemon pudding, and fresh blueberries.
- Chill the Dessert: Cover the assembled lasagna with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow flavors to meld and layers to firm up.
- Serve: Before serving, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative touch. Cut into squares and enjoy this cool, creamy, and fruity dessert.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free cookies or crumbs.
- This dessert is best served chilled and should be kept refrigerated until serving.
- You can add lemon zest to the cream cheese layer for an extra citrusy flavor.
- Substitute blueberries with other berries like raspberries or strawberries as preferred.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer texture, or light cream cheese for a lower-fat alternative.
