No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert

            Have you ever wanted a dessert so bad, but it was too hot to bake? I have the problem solved. This recipe will give you dessert that does not need to be baked.

When you combine tart lemon with the great taste of blueberries and then mix in some cream cheese and graham crackers, I need not say any more. This is a dessert that was created in Heaven.

            You can make this in a cake pan, and enjoy the taste of a graham cracker crust topped with a simple cheesecake and then a layer of blueberries and whipping cream to top it all with a few sprinkles of graham cracker as garnish.

I have always said that pretty food tastes better, no matter how you look at it. This dessert proves that!

Frequently Asked Questions:

            Could I use strawberries?

You could use strawberries, raspberries or even blackberries or cherries. The choice is up to you and what your family enjoys.

            Could I use a different pudding?

You certainly could, vanilla is always a great option. I also see that they have a cream cheese pudding out now.

            Why did my lemon layer end up so thick?

With this layer, you must follow the directions exactly. The pudding mix is the last addition. You have to mix fast because the pudding will start to thicken when it gets into the milk. You want to mix, but not for as long as you would if you were making a bowl of plain pudding.
