Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Ensure your blueberries are fresh and clean.
Make the Crust

Combine the Filling

Fold in Whipped Cream
- Gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping to the lemon mixture until fully combined. This step adds a lovely lightness to the filling.
Layer the Dessert
- Pour half of the lemon mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the blueberries on top. Repeat with the remaining filling and finish off with the rest of the blueberries.
Chill
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve
- Once chilled, slice into squares and enjoy your delightful dessert, topping with extra blueberries if desired.
