Lemon Blueberry Dessert – A Sunshine Slice You’ll Make Again and Again

The moment I first saw this dessert, I knew it was going to be something special. And guess what? It didn’t just live up to my expectations—it blew right past them. The combination of bright lemon, sweet blueberries, and buttery graham cracker crust is a little bite of summer any time of year.

The very first time I made it was for a sunny summer picnic, and I’ll never forget how quickly it disappeared from the table. It’s creamy, fruity, a little tangy, and so simple to make that you might just find yourself baking it for both weeknight treats and special occasions.
