Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare both envelopes of Dream Whip as directed on the box.
- Allow the cream cheese to soften and then blend it with the prepared Dream Whip.
- Add powdered sugar to the mixture and mix well.
- Stir in lemon juice until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into 2 graham cracker crusts.
- Top with blueberry pie filling.
- Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. If you prefer a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt. Ensure the Dream Whip is prepared according to the package instructions for optimal fluffiness. You can also use store-bought blueberry pie filling if you're short on time, making this dessert even easier to prepare.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the Blueberry Dream Whip Pie into wedges and serve chilled. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. Consider serving it alongside a light salad for a refreshing contrast, or enjoy it as a sweet ending to a summer barbecue.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain the texture, it’s best to avoid freezing this pie, as the whipped topping may become watery when thawed. Serve cold directly from the fridge for the best experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh blueberries instead of pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh blueberries, but you'll need to cook them down with some sugar and lemon juice to create a sauce-like consistency similar to pie filling. This will enhance the berry flavor and provide a nice texture on top of the pie.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham cracker crusts or create a crust using ground nuts mixed with butter. Ensure that all other ingredients, such as the Dream Whip and cream cheese, are gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten.
Can I make this pie a day in advance?
Absolutely! This pie can be made a day in advance, and it's often best after it has chilled in the refrigerator for a few hours. Just make sure to cover it well to prevent any absorption of other odors from the fridge.
