3 cups graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 – 8 oz. packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup 2% milk
3.4 oz. box instant lemon pudding
21 oz. can blueberry pie filling
16 oz. tubs frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup reserved graham cracker crumbs (optional, for topping)
In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture for optional topping.
Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch dish.
Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the lemon layer.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add lemon juice, milk, and instant lemon pudding. Mix until thick and smooth.
Drop spoonfuls of the lemon mixture onto the crust and spread into an even layer.
Add blueberry pie filling on top, gently pressing to form a smooth layer.
Top with thawed whipped topping using a piping bag or spoon for even coverage.
Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
For a richer crust, substitute 1/3 cup of melted butter with 1/3 cup olive oil.
Blueberry pie filling can be replaced with fresh blueberries (2 cups with 1/3 cup cornstarch). Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Optional: Sprinkle reserved graham crumbs over the whipped topping for texture.
