Blueberry Delight is creamy and delicious with 4 awesome layers. Perfect for potlucks and picnics and it is a breeze to put together. This is such an easy dessert that goes by many names- “Blueberry YumYum”, “Blueberry Dream”, “Blueberry Lush”, and “Blueberry Bliss”. Whatever you call it, be sure to put it on your “To Do” List soon. It’s so creamy, dreamy, and good.
No-Bake Dessert
Except for a quick 8 minutes to bake the graham cracker crust, this is a no-bake dessert that’s great for warm weather entertaining.
I love cool and creamy make-ahead desserts like this one and Butterfinger Lush, Butterscotch Lush, and Lemon Lush.
Blueberry Delight starts with a graham cracker crust with a few ground pecans mixed in for extra flavor.
Next comes a creamy cream cheese layer followed by 2 cans of blueberry pie filling. So easy!
You could probably get away with using one can, but I like to use 2 for lots of blueberry flavor.
On top, a layer of whipped topping. I typically use Cool Whip since it is so convenient, but feel free to make homemade whipped cream. It will be even better.
Before serving, I like to sprinkle a few fresh blueberries on top.

Variations
- Add a nutty topping. Add chopped toasted pecans, walnuts, or almonds on top for some nutty crunch.
- Use a different flavor pie filling to change this recipe up. Both cherry and strawberry work well as does peach.
Recipe Tip
If you don’t want to bake the crust, you can freeze it for 20 minutes instead.
Make Ahead Dessert
This recipe should be made at least 2 hours in advance because it needs time to chill and set in the refrigerator.
How To Store
Wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Thank you for posting it.
I made this for work. So easy, and so delicious! I had to post the recipe on our memo board because so many people asked for it. Making it again tonight for Easter tomorrow. Thanks for the great recipe!!
I have always used flour powder sugar and pecans for the first layer and baked like a short bread I also add bananas before blueberry layer oh so good !
This is the second time I am making this it is delicious
Made this recipe and it was better than my grandmothers! Warning! Do not make if you are on a diet because you won’t be able to stop eating it!!! It’s sooooo yummy!!!! I doubled the graham cracker base though.
Hi can you use fresh or frozen blueberries .How much to substitute the cans. thank you
I don’t recommend making substitutions for the pie filling unless you are going to make a homemade pie filling to use.
Do u have to put the graham crackers and pecan mix in the oven?
I think if you melted a stick of butter & mixed it with the graham crackers – with or without the pecans – then pressed it into the bottom of the dish it should work fine. I use that method for other recipes with no problem.
Making this tonight for husband’s office party tomorrow. Now need to make one for myself!
Can mascarpone cheese be subbed for the cream cheese layer?
Yes, that would be delicious!
Look so yummy! cant wait to make this tonight!
