Blueberry delight is a dessert that has other adorable names, like blueberry lush and blueberry yum yum. It doesn’t matter what you call it, though—what’s important is that blueberry delight is one of the best overnight desserts. Layers of sweetened cream cheese, Cool Whip and blueberry pie filling firm up in the fridge while you sleep, and each slice is incredibly rich and creamy despite minimal effort in the kitchen. One pan of our blueberry delight recipe will feed everyone at the party or satiate the whole family’s sweet tooth for a few days.
Blueberry Delight Ingredients
- Blueberry pie filling: We love to make desserts with pie filling. In this recipe, the sweetened blueberry spread traditionally used in blueberry pies is layered over a creamy filling instead of a pie crust.
- Cream cheese: It’s important to soften the cream cheese first so that it blends smoothly into the other ingredients. A microwave can do this quickly in a pinch.
- Cool Whip: After it’s thawed, frozen dessert topping (aka Cool Whip) is used for both the cream cheese layer and the top layer of this blueberry delight recipe.
- Graham crackers: Use a food processor or blender to grind the crackers into crumbs for the crust.
- Confectioners’ sugar: This type of sugar blends quickly to sweeten the creamy filling for the dessert.
- Lemon juice: A little lemon juice brightens the flavor of the canned blueberry pie filling and makes it taste homemade.
- Brown sugar: Just a little brown sugar sweetens the pie crust. Plus, the light molasses flavor is a nice match for the nutty graham cracker crumbs.
- Melted butter: Both salted and unsalted butter work for blending with the cracker crumbs to make a no-bake crust.
- Vanilla extract: Your favorite store-bought vanilla extract brand or homemade vanilla extract can flavor the cream cheese filling in this blueberry dessert.
- Salt: We add just a pinch of salt to balance and enhance the sweet flavors in the recipe for blueberry delight dessert.
