Ingredients

Scale

For the Sugar-Free Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar-free graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar-free sweetener

For the Lemon Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces sugar-free whipped topping, thawed

For the Blueberry Layer

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar-free sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

For the Topping

  • 8 ounces sugar-free whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the sugar-free graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar-free sweetener in a medium bowl. Stir until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  2. Cook the blueberry layer: Add the blueberries, water, granulated sugar-free sweetener, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the berries release their juices and the mixture becomes thick and glossy. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
  3. Make the lemon cream cheese filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar-free sweetener in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Fold in the whipped topping: Gently fold 8 ounces of thawed sugar-free whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold until the filling is light, smooth, and evenly combined.
  5. Add the first cream cheese layer: Spread half of the lemon cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust.
  6. Add the blueberry layer: Carefully spoon the completely cooled blueberry mixture over the first cream cheese layer. Spread gently to create an even layer.
  7. Finish the cream cheese layers: Spread the remaining lemon cream cheese filling over the blueberry layer, taking care not to disturb the fruit layer underneath.
  8. Add the whipped topping: Spread the remaining 8 ounces of sugar-free whipped topping evenly over the top. Smooth the surface or create decorative swirls with the back of a spoon.
  9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh blueberries and lemon zest over the whipped topping. For the freshest appearance, add the garnish shortly before serving.
  10. Chill and serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the layers are firm. Slice into 12 squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Prepare the dessert up to one day in advance and refrigerate overnight for the best texture and cleanest slices.
  • Cool the blueberry filling: Allow it to cool completely before assembling to prevent the cream cheese layers from softening.
  • Use softened cream cheese: This helps create a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Keep it chilled: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended because the cream cheese and whipped topping may change texture after thawing.
  • Frozen blueberries: Use them directly from the freezer when making the blueberry filling; cooking time may vary slightly.
  • Extra lemon flavor: Add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese filling.
  • Individual servings: Assemble the layers in small dessert cups for parties and gatherings.
  • Sweetener note: Choose sugar-free sweeteners suitable for your preferred dietary needs. The finished dessert is not necessarily carbohydrate-free.
