What You’ll Need

1 package of graham crackers

1 cup of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of whipped cream

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Let’s Make It Together

Creating your own Blueberry Cream Cheesecake Lasagna is simple and fun! Follow these sensory-rich steps:

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until it achieves a smooth, creamy consistency. Gently fold in the whipped cream until it’s fully incorporated, creating a luscious filling.
In another bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. If using frozen blueberries, let them thaw a bit for the best texture and flavor.
In a rectangular dish, layer the graham crackers at the bottom, forming a crisp foundation for all your delicious layers.
Spread a generous layer of your cream cheese mixture over the graham crackers, followed by a layer of the blueberry mixture. The vibrant blue hues peeking through will make your heart sing!
Repeat the layers until you’ve used all the ingredients, finishing top layer with the remaining cream cheese mixture. It creates a beautiful canvas for your dessert.
Cover your creation and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, though I prefer to leave it overnight if I can. The chilling time allows those sweet flavors to meld beautifully!
Serve it chilled, garnished with additional blueberries for a splash of freshness and color.
