A quick and easy no-bake lemon blueberry icebox pie with a creamy filling, tangy lemon flavor, and fresh blueberries, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the fridge while making the filling.
  2. Macerate the blueberries (10 minutes): In a small bowl, toss fresh blueberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let sit at room temperature.
  3. Make the lemon filling (15 minutes): Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until blended. Whip cold heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese mixture. Add lemon juice, zest, and vanilla, folding to combine.
  4. Assemble the pie (5 minutes): Spread half of the lemon filling over the chilled crust. Spoon macerated blueberries with juice on top. Dollop remaining lemon filling over berries and smooth the top.
  5. Chill (at least 4 hours or overnight): Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate to set and meld flavors.
  6. Serving: Remove from fridge about 10 minutes before slicing for easier cuts.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Whip cream to soft peaks to maintain filling structure. Chill crust before adding filling to prevent sogginess. Macerate blueberries to enhance sweetness and juiciness. Let pie sit 10 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
