INGREDIENTS
Crust Layer: To make the crust, combine 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 1/4 cup of light brown sugar and 1/2 cup of melted, unsalted butter.
Cream Cheese Layer: This delectable layer consists of two bricks of cream cheese, 1/2 tub of Cool Whip, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Blueberry Layer: This layer is by far the easiest because you just need two cans of blueberry pie filling.
Whipped Cream Layer: The top layer of this lasagna consists of 1 1/2 tubs of Cool Whip. You can also top this layer with some white chocolate curls for a beautiful garnish.
HOW TO MAKE THIS BLUEBERRY LASAGNA DESSERT
STEP ONE: Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and greasing a 9 x 13 pan. Next, in a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, light brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix the ingredients together until they are damp and place them into the greased pan, pressing the layer firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust for 12 minutes, remove and allow it to completely cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
STEP TWO: Next, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer for about 3 minutes or until it is smooth. Add the Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and lemon juice into the cream cheese and mix it well for another 3 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally. Spoon and spread the cream cheese filling layer onto the cooled crust layer.
STEP THREE: Now spread the blueberry pie filling evenly over the top of the cream cheese layer. Don’t press too hard or you’ll mix the filling into the cream cheese layer.
STEP FOUR: Carefully spread the remaining Cool Whip over the blueberry layer and place the finished Blueberry Lasagna Dessert into the fridge to chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
STEP FIVE: Once chilled, garnish this dessert lasagna with white chocolate curls or chips, cut, and serve!
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- Make sure the Cool Whip is thawed before using it for this Blueberry Lasagna recipe.
- Don’t have Cool Whip available? That’s okay. You can make homemade cool whip instead.
- Don’t like blueberries? You can easily substitute the blueberry pie filling for any other fruit filling you prefer.
HOW TO STORE BLUEBERRY LASAGNA DESSERT
If you have any leftovers you can store this layered dessert covered in the fridge. Blueberry Lasagna will last in the fridge for up to a week. For best results, don’t let this dessert sit out for too long as the Cool Whip will melt- especially on warm summer days!
CAN YOU FREEZE BLUEBERRY LASAGNA?
You can easily freeze this delicious dessert! I prefer to freeze it in small portions so I can pull out one slice at a time. My trick is to freeze the whole lasagna for about a half-hour so that when I take it out it’s easy to slice and portion out individual pieces. Then I store each slice in a freezer-friendly container that I can pull out and defrost in the fridge the next time I have a craving!

I have made this several times and everyone loves it. I think the recipe has the wrong amount of cool whip listed, I get a 16 oz. container and use 3.7 oz with the cream cheese mixture and the rest for the topping.Ron
