Tips for Easy Prep and Gorgeous Layers
Arrange all ingredients before you start for seamless assembly. To ensure your graham cracker crust holds together and slices cleanly, use a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black for perfectly crushed crumbs and an even, fine texture.
For clean, professional slices, chill your dessert thoroughly and use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts. If transporting to a gathering, keep it chilled in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to maintain those perfect layers.
How to Assemble a Standout No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert
After forming your buttery crust and pressing it into your 13×9 dish, prepare the quick-set lemon layer and fluffy topping. Swirl in your blueberry filling for a marbled effect or dot it in for juicy fruit pockets. For best results, opt for a Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet lining for effortless removal and easy cleanup.
Finish with fresh blueberries and lemon zest for color and an extra burst of zing. Serve straight from the dish or use a Lifewit Silverware Drawer Organizer, Expandable, Large, Black to have all serving utensils at hand when entertaining.
Serving Suggestions and Variations
This dessert is beautiful straight from the pan, but you can dress it up with whipped cream or extra lemon slices for more flair. Pair it with iced tea, sparkling water, or lemonade for a complete summer dessert experience.
For a spin, add a layer of mascarpone or cream cheese in the filling or swap the blueberry filling for raspberry or mixed berry to suit your crowd’s preferences.

- Spoon blueberry pie filling or sugared fresh blueberries evenly over the lemon layer, swirling gently for a marbled look if desired.
- Spread whipped topping over the blueberry layer, smoothing evenly. Decorate with fresh blueberries and extra lemon zest if you like.
