How To Make the No-Bake Lemon Dazzling Blueberry Cream Cake

Step 1: Build the Buttery Base

Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press into a springform pan. Chill while prepping the filling.

Step 2: Whip the Filling

Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 3: Add the Blueberries

Gently fold in fresh blueberries using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to crush them to keep that bright pop.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

Spread the filling evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 5: Chill and Decorate

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, garnish with whipped topping, lemon slices, and extra blueberries.

Serving and Storing the No-Bake Lemon Dazzling Blueberry Cream Cake

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance can I make this cake?

You can make it up to 2 days ahead. Just keep it refrigerated and garnish just before serving.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the filling.

What can I substitute for graham crackers?

Vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits work well as a crust substitute.
