Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Graham cracker crumbs (for layering)
Instructions
- Cook the blueberries by combining them with sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries burst, about 5-7 minutes, then allow to cool.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture by beating cream cheese until smooth, then adding powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated for a light texture.
- Layer the dessert in serving cups, alternating between graham cracker crumbs, cream cheese mixture, and blueberry filling until cups are filled.
- Chill the dessert cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
For a fun twist, use raspberries or strawberries instead of blueberries. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the graham cracker crumbs for extra flavor.
