A refreshing no-bake pie featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy lemon filling, and fresh blueberries for a perfect summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheets)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream for dairy-free option)
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Juice and zest of 2 medium lemons (about ⅓ cup juice)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (reserve a few for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed, about 3 minutes.
  2. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to about ½-inch thickness. Chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir lemon juice and zest into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Gently fold whipped cream into the lemon-cream cheese mixture until light and airy, about 2 minutes.
  7. Fold in blueberries, reserving about ¼ cup for garnish, to create a marbled effect without overmixing.
  8. Pour filling over chilled crust and smooth the top. Scatter reserved blueberries on top.
  9. Cover pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  10. Slice with a sharp knife warmed under hot water for clean cuts and serve chilled.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best texture and appearance; thaw and drain frozen blueberries if used. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Whip cream to stiff peaks but do not overbeat. Chill pie at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. For a firmer crust, freeze pie for 15 minutes before slicing. Gluten-free and dairy-free substitutions available.
