Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Blueberry-flavored gelatin
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
In a large heatproof bowl, dissolve the blueberry-flavored gelatin in boiling water. Stir for about 2 minutes until fully dissolved. Add the cold water and stir to combine. Set the gelatin mixture aside to cool slightly but not set.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in half of the whipped topping (about 4 ounces) into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Carefully pour the slightly cooled blueberry gelatin mixture over the cream cheese layer. Be sure to pour slowly to prevent mixing the layers.
Sprinkle the fresh blueberries evenly across the top of the gelatin layer.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4-6 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Just before serving, spread the remaining whipped topping over the top of the dessert as a final layer. Optional: garnish with additional fresh blueberries or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
Slice into squares and serve cold.
