How to make Lemon Blueberry Delight

Ingredients :

12 whole graham crackers
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter (melted)
1 box (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding
1½ cups half and half
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
8 ounces Cool Whip (thawed)
1 can (21 oz) blueberry pie filling
8 ounces Cool Whip (thawed)

Directions:

Place the graham crackers and sugar into a food processor. Run at high speed until the crackers form very fine crumbs.
Turn the processor down to low speed and slowly pour in the melted butter. Continue processing until all the crumbs are coated in butter.
Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom of a 9×13 baking pan. Freeze for 20 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon instant pudding and half and half until well combined and thickening. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken more.
In a larger bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and lump-free.
Add the thickened lemon pudding to the cream cheese mixture and blend on low speed until combined.
Fold in the Cool Whip using a spatula until well combined.
Evenly spread the lemon cheesecake mixture over the crust in the baking pan.
Pour the blueberry pie filling over the lemon layer and spread it out as best you can.
Layer the remaining Cool Whip over the blueberry filling and smooth it out.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight for best results.
When ready to serve, garnish with crushed graham crackers, fresh blueberries, and/or lemon slices if desired.
