Lemon Blueberry Lasagna (Printable)

A vibrant no-bake layered dessert with lemon cream, blueberries, and crispy cookie base.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Cookie Layer

01 - 10.5 oz vanilla wafer cookies or graham crackers, crushed
02 - 2.8 oz unsalted butter, melted

→ Blueberry Layer

03 - 10.5 oz fresh or frozen blueberries
04 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
05 - 2 tbsp lemon juice
06 - 2 tbsp water
07 - 2 tsp cornstarch

→ Lemon Cream Layer

08 - 10.5 oz cream cheese, softened
09 - 7 oz powdered sugar
10 - 2 tbsp lemon zest
11 - 4 tbsp lemon juice
12 - 1.7 cups heavy whipping cream, cold

→ Topping

13 - 3.5 oz whipped cream
14 - Fresh blueberries and lemon zest, for garnish

# How-To Steps:

01 - Combine crushed cookies and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the next layer.
02 - Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until berries burst. Mix cornstarch with a splash of water to form a slurry, then stir into the berry mixture. Simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cool completely.
03 - Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add lemon zest and juice, and mix well. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into the lemon mixture until just combined.
04 - Spread half of the lemon cream over the chilled cookie crust. Gently spread half the blueberry sauce over the cream layer. Repeat with the remaining lemon cream and blueberry sauce.
05 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
06 - Before serving, spread with whipped cream and garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon zest.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours but the whole thing comes together in about thirty minutes
  • The tang of lemon cuts through the richness so perfectly that people always go back for a second slice
02 -
  • If your cream cheese is even slightly cold the filling will have tiny lumps that no amount of mixing can fix
  • The blueberry sauce must be completely cool before you layer it or the cream will soften and slide around
03 -
  • Use a flat offset spatula to spread each layer instead of a regular spoon for the most even results
  • Zest your lemons before juicing them because it is nearly impossible the other way around
