Frozen Blueberry Dessert

This frozen blueberry dessert is as easy as it is delicious. A graham cracker crust is topped with a sweet and creamy, thick, blueberry filling, then topped with a blueberry and cool whip topping that tastes amazing. Then it’s all frozen and served up cold and delicious. It’s the perfect summer dessert recipe. 

When summer comes around, it’s all about frozen desserts for me and my family. There’s nothing better than a big cone or slice of something sweet and cold to satisfy your craving for something delicious and cold to cool you off while it’s sweltering outside. We live in a hot state, so we’re especially appreciative of anything that is both tasty and cool. That’s why I love making this frozen blueberry dessert for my family. It has delicious, sweet layers of everything that you’d ever want in a dessert along with a cool, refreshing texture that’s perfect for hot summer and fall days. 

Blueberry Frozen Dessert

In addition to being absolutely delicious, this recipe is super easy, too. That’s another reason it’s so perfect for a summer dessert. These delicious layers take no time at all to put together, and after that, it’s simply a matter of freezing. 

Picture this. You get a slice of this dessert. You immediately see a graham cracker crust on the bottom. Above that is a thick layer of creamy, sweet deliciousness made of blueberries, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, heavy whipping cream and a few other ingredients. On top of that is a layer of sweet, summery goodness in the form of a delicious blueberry topping. Finally it’s all topped with another light and airy layer of cool whip. 

Now imagine eating a creamy, firm ice-cold slice of that on a hot day. The kind of day when you feel like you might melt and the pool or creek is just calling your name. That’s what this delicious frozen blueberry dessert is all about. It’s equal parts taste and summer vibes. It’s the perfect dessert for a family meal or get-together or a summer party or potlucks. 

Tips

This is a super easy recipe that comes together in next to no time. It’s quick and easy, and almost impossible to mess up. And although you can’t mess it up, there are some things to remember that will help you make a truly crowd-pleasing dessert that will have everyone coming back for more. 

Bake the Crust – Or Not

You don’t have to bake any part of this dessert, however, if you want to add about 10 minutes of baking to the recipe, you can bake the graham cracker crust for even more amazing flavor. I bake my crust whenever possible to add a nice depth of flavor, but in a pinch, you can simply press it into the bottom of the dish. It will still be delicious. 

Let the Blueberries Cool

It’s important to let the blueberry mixture cool before adding it on top of the cream cheese mixture. If you don’t allow the blueberry mixture to completely cool, the heat from the blueberries will cause the cream cheese layer to melt and sort of “goo out” all over the place. To make things easier, make the blueberry mixture first so that it can cool while you make the rest of the dessert. 

Beat the Heavy Cream Thoroughly

This is a step that a lot of people have trouble with. Many people who are new to the process see peaks form and think that they’re finished. Remember, you need STIFF peaks. That means that when you make a peak, it stays in place. If the peak begins to slowly fall back into the whipped cream, you need to whip it more. 

Variations

This dessert is so quick, easy, and delicious, but it doesn’t start there. There are also a couple of things you can do to change it up and make either a completely different recipe or a recipe that’s even more delicious. 

Make Your Own Whipped Cream

If you like, you can make your own whipped cream to go with this blueberry frozen dessert rather than buying Cool Whip. Either work, and either is delicious, but making the dessert with homemade whipped cream can take it to an entirely new level. It’s a great way to venture out into more baking options when you’ve mastered the recipe. 

Use Different Fruits

You can use a variety of fruits for this recipe. In fact, you can use almost any fruit you like so long as the size is right. We made a raspberry frozen dessert that will be posted soon that is super delicious too. Dice apples and make the filling per directions, adding a little bit of cinnamon to the mix. Get creative with almost any fruit. 

Serving Blueberry Frozen Dessert

This delicious dessert is perfect for any occasion. It’s a great dessert to make for a couple of days’ worth of dessert for the family. A nice, special treat for family gatherings. It’s excellent at parties and potlucks, as well. It’s always a crowd-pleaser, and you’ll rarely have any leftovers. 

Serving is simple, Just cut a slice and put it on a plate. That’s all you need to do! It’s already filled with creamy, fruity goodness and topped with whipped cream, so there’s no need to add anything at all to it!

Storing Frozen Blueberry Dessert

As this is a frozen dessert, storing it couldn’t be more simple. Just tightly wrap the dish in which you made it with plastic wrap and store it in the freezer. It will keep will for up to a month. You don’t even have to thaw it to serve. Simply pull it from the freezer and take a slice. That’s all there is to it!

In a medium bowl, add crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
