Instructions
Step 1: Make the Graham Cracker Crust

- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press it down.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the next layers.
Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in 8 oz of whipped topping until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Return the dish to the refrigerator while you prepare the fruit layer.
Step 3: Add the Blueberry Layer
- Spoon the canned blueberry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer, spreading it gently with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Return the dish to the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the topping.
Step 4: Add the Whipped Cream Topping
- Spread the additional 8 oz of whipped topping evenly over the blueberry layer, creating a fluffy final layer.
- If desired, sprinkle crushed graham cracker crumbs over the top for added texture and decoration.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2–4 hours , or until it’s set and the layers are firm.
- Slice into squares and serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days .

- Make Ahead: This dessert can be assembled up to a day in advance, making it perfect for entertaining.
