Why You’ll Love This No-Bake Lemon Dazzling Blueberry Cream Cake

If you’re a fan of creamy, fruity desserts that are easy to assemble and perfect for warm weather, this one checks every box. The graham cracker base offers a satisfying crunch beneath a cloud of lemon-kissed whipped cream. It’s not just pretty to serve — it melts into a light, tangy delight that feels luxurious but won’t weigh you down.

What makes this cake stand out is its balance: tart lemon curd mellowed by fluffy cream, and blueberries adding a jammy punch in every slice. Plus, it keeps well in the fridge, meaning you can prep it the day before without sacrificing freshness or texture.

Can I Use Frozen Blueberries or Fresh Only?

Both work beautifully, but each brings its own charm. Fresh blueberries hold their shape better and provide a satisfying burst, while frozen ones tend to create a more jammy swirl that seeps into the cream. If using frozen, don’t thaw them first — they’ll naturally soften during the chill time and create vibrant streaks of purple throughout your layers.

If it’s blueberry season, go fresh. But in cooler months or for convenience, frozen blueberries are a reliable and tasty substitute.

Ingredients for the No-Bake Lemon Dazzling Blueberry Cream Cake

This no-bake beauty shines with simple ingredients, but each one plays a starring role in flavor and texture. A buttery graham cracker crust lays the foundation, followed by creamy, lemony layers and a pop of blueberry bliss. Here’s what you need:

  • Graham crackers
  • Unsalted butter
  • Cream cheese
  • Powdered sugar
  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Lemon curd
  • Fresh lemon zest
  • Vanilla extract
  • Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

The graham crackers and unsalted butter create a crunchy, buttery crust that holds everything together. Cream cheese provides the creamy base, while powdered sugar sweetens it gently. Heavy whipping cream makes the filling light and fluffy, and lemon curd infuses a bold citrus punch. Fresh lemon zest brightens the flavor, and vanilla extract rounds everything out. Finally, blueberries swirl through the cream layer and offer juicy bursts with every bite.

How To Make the No-Bake Lemon Dazzling Blueberry Cream Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Crush the graham crackers until fine, then mix with melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into a springform pan and place in the fridge to set.

Step 2: Make the Cream Layer

Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add lemon curd, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently until fully combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

Spoon half of the cream filling over the crust. Add a layer of blueberries, gently pressing them in. Add the remaining cream mixture and smooth the top.

Step 4: Chill and Swirl

Sprinkle extra blueberries on top and lightly swirl a spoonful or two of lemon curd for a marbled look. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Once set, carefully release from the springform pan. Slice with a warm knife for clean edges, and serve chilled. This cake is as stunning as it is delicious!
