Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 21-ounce cans blueberry pie filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 package graham crackers (9 crackers)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup sugar
Garnish Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 white chocolate bar, for curls
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Craft a buttery, crumbly foundation by pulverizing graham crackers and pecans into fine fragments, binding them with melted butter and sugar.
- Transform the mixture into a uniform base within a 9×13-inch baking vessel, creating a golden platform through a brief 8-minute baking session.
- Allow the crust to cool completely, ensuring a crisp and stable foundation for subsequent layers.
- Whip cream cheese into a velvety smooth consistency, incorporating powdered sugar and half of the whipped topping for a luxurious, creamy texture.
- Carefully distribute the cream cheese mixture across the cooled crust, creating an even, luscious layer that serves as a delectable intermediary.
- Cascade vibrant blueberry pie filling over the cream cheese stratum, ensuring complete and aesthetic coverage.
- Crown the dessert with remaining whipped topping, spreading it gently to create a pristine, cloud-like surface.
- Refrigerate the assembled dessert for a minimum of 3-4 hours, allowing flavors to meld and textures to set perfectly.
- Just before presenting, embellish with delicate chopped pecans and elegant white chocolate curls for visual and textural intrigue.
- Slice into 16 portions and serve chilled, maintaining the dessert’s structural integrity and refreshing character.
- Preserve any remaining servings in a sealed container within the refrigerator, maintaining optimal freshness for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Enhance crust texture by toasting pecans lightly before crushing for deeper, nuttier flavor profile.
- Ensure cream cheese is room temperature to achieve silky smooth consistency without lumps when blending.
- Use fresh blueberries as optional topping for added brightness and natural sweetness if pie filling feels too sweet.
- Reduce sugar content by selecting low-sugar Cool Whip and cutting powdered sugar quantity for diabetic-friendly version.
