Ingredients
Scale
Brown Sugar Pecan Crust
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
- ½ cup butter, melted
Cream Cheese Lemon Filling
- 5 ounce evaporated milk
- 3.4 ounce instant lemon pudding mix
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
- ¾ cup frozen lemonade concentrate
Blueberry Topping
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly spray an 8×8, 7×11, or 9×9 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Make Brown Sugar Pecan Crust: In a medium bowl, combine light brown sugar, all purpose flour, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Stir well to combine. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and press firmly to form an even layer. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Lemon Filling: In a small bowl, combine evaporated milk and instant lemon pudding mix. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until very thick. In a separate medium bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat in the frozen lemonade concentrate, followed by the pudding mixture until fully incorporated.
- Assemble Lemon Filling on Crust: Spoon the cream cheese lemon filling mixture evenly over the cooled brown sugar pecan crust.
- Cook Blueberry Topping: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir continuously and cook until the blueberries begin to burst and the sauce thickens.
- Cool and Spread Blueberry Topping: Let the blueberry topping cool completely, then spread it evenly over the lemon filling layer.
- Chill Dessert: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set and chill before serving.
Notes
- Nutritional values are approximate and can vary depending on brands and specific ingredients used.
- Use a nutritional calculator for precise information if modifying the recipe or using different brands.
- Make sure the crust is fully cooled before adding the filling to prevent melting.
- Allow blueberry topping to cool completely so it does not mix into the lemon filling when spread.
- This dessert is best served chilled for a refreshing taste and firm texture.
