Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Fluffy Marshmallow Filling:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)

Blueberry Topping:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  1. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish to form an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or the base of a glass for a smooth surface.
  3. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Create the Fluffy Marshmallow Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Add the marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue to beat until fully combined.
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the airy texture.
  5. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Return to the refrigerator while you make the blueberry topping.

Step 3: Prepare the Blueberry Topping

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Stir to coat the berries.
  2. Add the water and lemon juice, then cook over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and the berries start to break down (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  5. Once cooled, pour the blueberry topping over the marshmallow filling, spreading it evenly.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Cover the dessert with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  2. Slice into squares or scoop into bowls to serve.
