Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
  • Additional blueberries and whipped cream for garnish

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch square baking dish to form the crust.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping until well combined.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  6. Pour the cooled blueberry mixture on top of the cream cheese layer and spread it out evenly.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  8. When ready to serve, garnish with additional blueberries and dollops of whipped cream.
  9. Cut into squares and enjoy!
