Easy No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert
In spring and hot summer days no bake desserts are fantastic and this No Bake Lemon Blueberry Dessert is no exception.
If you are craving something sweet and refreshing, how about let’s NOT turn the oven. This recipe is completely no bake and requires only 20 minutes of active time. The longest part is waiting everything to set before serving.
This Lemon Blueberry Lasagna is easy to make, even easier to eat, and fun to serve with all the pretty layers.
How To Make No Bake Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Lasagna
You’ll need:
- Golden Oreo cookies- you should place whole Oreo cookies with the filling in a food processor and ground into fine crumbs. No need to remove the filling for a cookie.
- Butter-it serves as a glue to hold Oreo crumbs together.
- Blueberries- use frozen blueberries. Frozen berries provide nice purple colour. If you use fresh blueberries they will make grayish colour that’s not so pretty looking. The blueberries should be thawed. You can pulse them in the food processor when they are still frozen, but if you add that cold and thick paste into the cream cheese mixture, when you add dissolved, it will clump immediately and you won’t be able to mix it well.
- Cream cheese- I suggest using full-fat brick style cream cheese
- Cool Whip- You can use thawed whipped topping like Cool Whip (you’ll need about 6 cups) or make homemade whipped cream. Beat 3 cups chilled heavy cream with 2 teaspoon vanilla until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar to taste and continue mixing on high speed until STIFF PEAKS form.
- Instant pudding-lemon flavour pairs perfect with blueberry layer. Pudding should be prepared with less milk than it is listed on the box, but you will lighten it up with whipped cream.
- Gelatine powder-dissolve it first in cold water and set aside for a few minutes to bloom, then microwave it or heat on a stove top on a low heat until it is completely melted and liquid.
To make the crust, in a bowl stir together ½ cup melted butter with Oreo crumbs until evenly moistened, then press the mixture in the bottom of 9 x 13 -inch deep dish, set in the freezer to firm while making next layer.
Dissolve gelatine in 1/3 cup cold water and set aside to bloom.
In a food processor place thawed blueberries (do not drain excess of the liquid) and Greek yogurt and pulse, set aside.
In a large mixing bowl beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Beat in vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Add blueberry mixture and mix to combine.
Microwave gelatine and stir to dissolve completely. Slowly pour into the cream cheese mixture while mixing on medium speed. Finally add Cool Whip and mix to combine. Scrape down the bottom of the bowl to combine everything evenly. Spread over chilled Oreo crust and place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
In a mixing bowl combine instant pudding mix with 2 ½ cups milk and whisk. Add 1 cup Cool Whip and whisk until everything is evenly combined. Spread over blueberry Layer, and place in the freezer to set for about 5-10 minutes.
Spread 2-3 cups Cool Whip over pudding layer and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
To make the curls, carefully draw a vegetable peeler across the broad surface of a bar of white chocolate at room temperature. Sprinkle curls on top.
Store covered in the fridge up to 5-6 days, or freeze for longer storage.

MIT sure why but you mention oreo cookies but the crust looks like Graham. So where is the orei, or is it in lieu of Graham?
Hi Pat, use Golden Oreo cookies
Two questions:
1. Do you leave the cream in the center of the Oreo cookies?
2. If I wanted to use an 8×8 pan could I half this recipe?
Hi Lisa! Yes and yes, leave the cream in the cookies and you can half the recipe for 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan.
Hi! Should the gelatin be blueberry??
Hi Bry. No, you should use clear gelatin powder like Knox.
Looks super I would like to try and make one
Beautiful, delicious, and oh so easy to make!
“Microwave gelatine and stir to dissolve completely. Slowly pour into the cream cheese mixture while mixing on medium speed.”… how long do we microwave this for?
I did it for 30 seconds at first to see if it was completely melted and it was.
I microwaved mine for 30 seconds, it just needs to liquify
Fabulous dessert, and oh so easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly, and only added one thing. I added fresh lemon zest to the lemon pudding mixture to liven it up a bit. That step took it to another level. I highly recommend this addition. Thank you for this sweet summer dessert. It’s amazing.
What can I use instead of Greek yogurt? I absolutely despise yogurt but would love to try this
You could you a less ripe banana (less banana flavor) or even just sub for more cream cheese of the same measurement!!
This looks amazing! I’m going to try and make it tomorrow. I don’t have a food processor. Can I use a blender instead for the blueberries? I’m going to make a graham cracker crust instead of the cookie crust.
Look forward to making this one. Yummy
Would this work with lavender instead of blueberry? Or in addition to the blueberry?
This is amazing. I tweaked it and made a coffee layer instead of the blueberry and vanilla pudding instead of lemon, also delicious.
can you replace the cream cheese with something else I can’t eat cream cheese?
This sounds delicious! I’m thinking of trying it with frozen raspberries instead of blueberries. Do you think that would work well? And do you think adding a bit of lemon juice to the lemon pudding (replacing some of the milk) would make it a bit more tangy/ lemony? Can’t wait to try it out!
Those substitutions sound like it would be AMAZING!! 🥰 Raspberry and Lemon are a classic flavor combo! I’m going to do your version IMMEDIATELY after I make the original!! Thank you for the great idea😃
Do you think I could make this in a springform pan? I think the layers are so pretty and would love to showcase it.
I made it in a 12 inch springform pan and it did great!
I gotta try this!
Delicious! And although the recipe looks intimidating at first glance, it is not difficult at all!
Making this today. I only bought one lemon pudding and used a vanilla pudding . I added juice of three lemons and only two cups of milk. Taste great!
I made this as directed using cool whip for the whipped cream. It was fantastic
Does this freeze well? Was thinking of making it into mini entrements.
If you made this a day ahead would you want to keep it in the freezer less the final cool whip layer and chocolate shavings or is the fridge okay?
HI Michelle, keep it in the fridge.
How many people would this feed?
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
One my favorite recipes, it’s a big hit everywhere I take it.
Do you know if there is a way to replace the gelatin? I am vegetarian, but would love to make this! I was thinking agar agar or something, if you have any ideas??
My kind of lazania 🙂
Blueberry Lemon Lasagna. I want to take this to a party, how would it stand up if precut and put on platters? Or do you have another idea for presentation? Thanks
5 BIG STARS. I served your Lemon Blueberry “Lasagna” today. What an amazing dessert for a hot summer day. It is easy to make. I had to make one minor change. I only had one package of lemon Jello pudding – for the second package I used Jello While Chocolate pudding and added lemon oil to compensate. I
Looks wonderful. Going to try using choc Oreos since bringing to party with gluten free folks and haven’t seen GF in other types.
Does anyone have the recipe in metric? I have a hard time translating it. Or to be frank, to know that I made a right call so it tastes as it should. 🙂
