The Secret to an Exceptional Blueberry Yum Yum
This dessert stands apart for its perfect texture play: crisp cookie crust, velvety cream cheese, bright, tangy blueberry, and a light whipped finish. The beauty lies in its versatility—you can use fresh berries or a high-quality pie filling for reliably delicious results. Few desserts are as simple to prepare, require zero baking, and look as stunning on the table as Blueberry Yum Yum.
Layered Perfection: Crafting Each Step
Start with a butter-rich crust for a solid foundation. For a mess-free process that ensures even layers and easy release, line your pan with a sheet from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll—a simple step that makes serving so much easier.
Next comes the creamy layer, blending softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until ultra-smooth. For an effortless, perfectly mixed filling, use the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender—it whips the mixture to airy perfection in seconds.
The blueberry layer is up to you: homemade sauce with fresh berries, or a good-quality pie filling for convenience. If making your own, gently pulse blueberries until chunky with the Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender for just the right consistency.
Assembling and Chilling Your Blueberry Yum Yum
Spread each layer carefully for that signature, picture-perfect look. The final touch: a generous, cloud-like whipped topping. For even spreading, try the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher—it’s surprisingly handy for smoothing layers.
Pop the pan into the fridge and let the flavors meld together. A lengthy chill—at least 4 hours—guarantees firm, neat slices, making for a visually stunning and delicious finale.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan with a sheet from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy removal and cleanup.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form a solid crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
- In the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 cup whipped topping until smooth and fluffy. Spread evenly over the chilled crust.
- If making homemade blueberry topping, pulse blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in the Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender to break up some berries, then simmer in a saucepan over medium heat until slightly thickened. Cool completely. Otherwise, simply use the canned filling.
- Spoon blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer and spread gently.
- Top with remaining whipped topping, smoothing with a spatula or the Farberware Meat and Potato Masher if desired. Garnish with fresh berries and mint.
