A refreshing no-bake dessert featuring layers of tangy lemon curd, fresh blueberries, and creamy whipped filling, perfect for hot summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 24 ladyfingers or graham crackers
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (90 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (150 g) lemon curd
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) fresh blueberries
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, keeping the filling light and airy.
  4. Fold in the lemon curd and lemon zest into the whipped filling.
  5. In a 9×9-inch dish, lay a single layer of ladyfingers or graham crackers, trimming to fit if needed.
  6. Spread about a third of the lemon cream filling evenly over the base layer.
  7. Sprinkle a generous handful of fresh blueberries on top.
  8. Repeat layering two more times — crackers, filling, blueberries — finishing with a layer of cream and a few berries for garnish.
  9. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow cookies to soften and flavors to meld.
  10. Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for easier slicing. Use a serrated knife and wipe clean between cuts.

Notes

Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results. Be gentle when folding whipped cream into cream cheese mixture to keep it airy. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Dip ladyfingers quickly in cold milk if too dry but avoid soaking to prevent sogginess. Lemon curd can be substituted with lemon juice and honey mixture if unavailable.
