Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix them thoroughly with the granulated sugar and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan and place it in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
Make the Lemon Cheesecake Layer: Whisk the instant lemon pudding mix with the half and half until the mixture thickens. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth. Fold the lemon pudding mixture into the cream cheese blend, then gently stir in 8 ounces of thawed Cool Whip to keep the texture light and airy.
Assemble the Layers: Spread the creamy lemon cheesecake layer evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Next, spread the blueberry pie filling evenly over the cheesecake layer to create a fruity contrast.
Top with Cool Whip: Finally, spread the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip over the blueberry layer for a smooth, creamy topping.
Chill and Serve: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set. Before serving, garnish with crushed graham crackers, fresh blueberries, or lemon slices for an attractive presentation and extra flavor.

Notes

This dessert is best served chilled and improves in flavor when refrigerated overnight.
You can substitute half and half with whole milk but the texture may be slightly lighter.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake layer.
Use fresh lemon zest in the cheesecake layer for an added lemony punch if desired.
