Why You’ll Love This No-Bake Lemon Dazzling Blueberry Cream Cake

This dessert combines ease and elegance. It looks like something out of a bakery display case, but takes very little time to assemble. It’s great for warm weather when turning on the oven feels like a chore. The layers are light and creamy, and the citrus-blueberry combo is refreshing yet indulgent. Plus, it’s make-ahead friendly.

Can I Use Frozen Blueberries for This Cream Cake?

You can, but fresh blueberries really make a difference here. They hold their shape better and don’t bleed into the cream layer the way thawed frozen berries tend to. If using frozen, make sure to thaw and pat them dry thoroughly to reduce extra moisture.

Ingredients for the No-Bake Lemon Dazzling Blueberry Cream Cake

This cake relies on a balance of creamy, tart, and sweet. Each ingredient plays a role in creating the luxurious texture and summery flavor that makes this dessert unforgettable.

• Graham cracker crumbs
• Unsalted butter
• Cream cheese
• Powdered sugar
• Heavy cream
• Fresh lemon juice
• Lemon zest
• Vanilla extract
• Fresh blueberries

The graham cracker crumbs and butter create a buttery, slightly crunchy base that holds everything together without baking. The cream cheese gives the filling its signature tang and body, while powdered sugar adds sweetness without grittiness. Heavy cream is whipped to add lightness, and lemon juice plus lemon zest bring brightness and zing. Vanilla extract smooths out the citrus edge, and fresh blueberries bring bursts of juicy flavor and visual beauty.

How To Make the No-Bake Lemon Dazzling Blueberry Cream Cake

Step 1: Make the Crust

Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of a springform pan and smooth into an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will help the final filling stay light and airy.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated and silky. Gently fold in the whipped cream to keep the mixture fluffy.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

Spread half of the cream filling over the chilled crust. Layer with fresh blueberries, then add the remaining cream mixture on top. Smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 5: Chill and Garnish

Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Before serving, garnish with more blueberries and lemon zest.

How to Serve and Store This No-Bake Lemon Dazzling Blueberry Cream Cake
