This lemon blueberry dessert is a delightful treat that combines the tangy zest of lemons with the sweet burst of blueberries, all nestled atop a crumbly graham cracker crust. It’s the perfect dessert for those who love a balance of creamy and fruity textures. I first made this dessert for a summer picnic, and it was such a hit that it quickly became a family favorite. It’s easy to prepare, making it ideal for busy weeknights or special occasions.
This dessert pairs wonderfully with a light and refreshing salad, like a mixed greens salad with a citrus vinaigrette. For a more indulgent pairing, serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of lemon sorbet. A cup of herbal tea or a chilled glass of white wine also complements the flavors beautifully.
