*This dreamy no bake, layered blueberry dessert is easy to whip up with a gluten-free graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake, topped with a naturally date-sweetened blueberry pie filling. Gluten-Free.*

 

For a deliciously easy and light summertime dessert, this **Blueberry Yum Yum** (also Blueberry Delight, Blueberry Dream) is your fruity answer and *no* baking is required in this date recipe! Consisting of three yummy layers, blueberry yum yum is perfect for hot summer days☀️ 

 

The graham cracker crust is made out of **almond flour,** [**Jem Cinnamon Maca Almond Butter**](https://www.jemorganics.com/collections/cinnamon-maca), **coconut sugar**, and **coconut oil**. These simple ingredients blend together into a magical combo that tastes *just *like a graham cracker *without *gluten, additives, etc! 

 

 

The cheesecake layer consists of **cream cheese**, **coconut sugar** and **vanilla extract**. To create a whipped cheesecake layer, we will mix in a packet of **dream whip** to the cream cheese mixture. The tang of the cream cheese cuts the sweetness of this no bake dessert. And don't worry if you're looking for a vegan option, we've got you! Just sub the regular cream cheese for a vegan kind and use coconut whip instead of the dream whip, which is *really similar* to cool whip. 

 

The homemade blueberry filling is a delicious combination of **fresh blueberries**, [Joolies Date Syrup](https://blog.joolies.com/https/blog.joolies.com/bittersweet-goodbye-to-joolies-date-syrup), **tapioca starch**, and **lemon juice** which boils down to create a sweet-n-tart topping that brings it all together 😍

 

  

## Ingredients for the crust:  

1. 1. **Almond Flour** 
            - This serves as the dry base for our crust and also has a stellar nutritional profile that's [rich in Vitamin E and magnesium ](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/almond-flour)and just like medjool dates, almond flour is a great low glycemic option! 
     2. **Coconut Sugar**  
            - To help give us that graham cracker taste, while keeping it refined sugar-free, we went with coconut sugar.
     3. [**Jem Cinnamon Maca Almond Butter**](https://www.jemorganics.com/collections/cinnamon-maca) 
            - **This acts as a great binder to get the perfect texture, plus coconut flour is high in fiber, protein, making it a great alternative for wheat flour.    **
     4. **Refined Coconut Oil ** 
            - You want this to be melted, in order to thoroughly mix with the other ingredients. Once cooled, it will double as a binder to hold everything together. 

## Ingredients for the filling:

1. 1. **Dream Whip** 
            - Adding this into the cheesecake filling will create a whipped, fluffy layer. For a dairy-free option, you can substitute coconut whip. 
     2. Cream Cheese 
            - Make sure the cream cheese is *soft* or it won’t properly mix together. Just set it out an hour before preparing (do not microwave)! You can also use a dairy-free cheese if you so desire. We love [Miyoko's vegan cream cheese](https://miyokos.com/collections/vegan-cream-cheese) as an alternative. 
     3. **Coconut Sugar** 
            - A bit more sugar is needed to sweeten the filling 
     4. **Milk** 
            - Just a splash is needed to help create the desired texture.

## Ingredients for the topping:

1. 1. **Blueberries**  
            - Fresh is a must for the best consistency and flavor. 
     2. [Joolies Date Syrup](https://blog.joolies.com/https/blog.joolies.com/bittersweet-goodbye-to-joolies-date-syrup)  
            - This *natural *sweetener is leveled up with a touch of blueberry. Plus, you still [maintain all the nutrient and health benefits of a medjool date](https://blog.joolies.com/6-health-benefits-of-dates) in the syrup form. 
     3. **Lemon Juice** 
            - You'll get the best flavor from fresh lemons, so grab a few and start juicing 🍋
     4. **Tapioca Starch** 
            - Also called tapioca *flour, *is a natural thickening agent that will create the perfect consistency for the filling. If needed, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of tapioca starch.
