Recipe: Lemony Blueberry Layered Pie

Ingredients

• 19-inch graham cracker crust
• 18-ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 114-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• ¼cup powdered sugar
• 13.4-ounce box instant lemon pudding mix
• 2teaspoons fresh lemon zest
• ¼cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 121-ounce can LUCKY LEAF^® Premium Blueberry Pie Filling

Instructions

Combine cream cheese, condensed milk and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix at medium speed for 1-2 minutes, until smooth. Add pudding mix, lemon zest and lemon juice; mix until well blended.

Spoon about half of the LUCKY LEAF Premium Blueberry Pie Filling evenly into bottom of graham cracker crust. Spoon lemon-filling mixture on top and spread evenly. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.

Spoon remaining Lucky Leaf Premium Blueberry Pie Filling on top just before serving. Garnish with fresh lemon zest if desired.

Results: This was seriously one of the easiest and quickest desserts - and it is a no-bake!  I did not have a lemon handy so I omitted the lemon zest and used lemon juice instead and it was really tasty. It would have tasted even better with the lemon zest so if I make it again I will definitely not stray from the original recipe. The contrast between the tart lemon and sweet blueberry was perfect and it was all neutralized thanks to the graham cracker crust.  I did find that it set nicely over night so you may want to make this a day ahead of time though is not required.
