Lemon Blueberry Lasagna (Printable)
A refreshing no-bake layered dessert with bright lemon cream, sweet blueberry sauce, and a buttery 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 cold heavy whipping cream
→ Topping
13 - 3.5 oz whipped cream
14 - Fresh blueberries and lemon zest for garnish
# How To Make It:
01 - Combine crushed cookies and melted butter in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.
02 - Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until berries burst. Whisk cornstarch with a splash of water to form a slurry, then stir into the berry mixture. Simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
03 - Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add lemon zest and juice, mixing well. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the 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. Repeat with the remaining lemon cream and blueberry sauce.
05 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the cleanest slices.
06 - Spread whipped cream over the top and garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon zest before serving.

03 -
- Run your knife under hot water and wipe it dry between cuts for picture perfect slices
- Zest your lemons before juicing them since it is nearly impossible the other way around
