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
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
- 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.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Create the Fluffy Marshmallow Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add the marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue to beat until fully combined.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the airy texture.
- 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
- In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Stir to coat the berries.
- Add the water and lemon juice, then cook over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and the berries start to break down (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, pour the blueberry topping over the marshmallow filling, spreading it evenly.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Cover the dessert with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Slice into squares or scoop into bowls to serve.
