Ingredients
Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Layer:
16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped topping
Blueberry Layer:
3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water
Top Layer:
1 cup whipped topping
Optional garnishes: fresh blueberries, lemon zest, or shaved white chocolate
Instructions
1. Make the Crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a lined baking dish and chill.
2. Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, fold in half the whipped topping. Spread evenly over chilled crust.
3. Cook Blueberry Topping: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat until thick and glossy. Cool slightly and spread over cream cheese layer.
4. Top with Whipped Topping: Spread remaining whipped topping over blueberry layer. Garnish with fresh blueberries or lemon zest if desired.
5. Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (overnight is best). Slice into squares and serve cold.
