🔄 Substitutions
I love the almonds in this blueberry delight with graham cracker crust but you are welcome to substitute in pecans, hazelnuts or walnuts. Use what YOU love!
If you want to skip the cool whip go ahead and switch it out for Whipped cream. You are going to need about 4 cups of whipped cream, sweetened to your liking.
How do you make a no-bake blueberry yum yum recipe?
If you are looking to not heat up your house or oven for an eight-minute bake, just firmly press the crust into the prepared pan. Freeze until firm and be careful when adding the cream cheese layer.
How to make blueberry delight
- Pulse graham crackers, sugar and sliced almondsin a food processor until finely ground. (reserve 2 tablespoons if you want to garnish)(or add the ingredients to a ziplock bag in an even layer and use a rolling pin to crush the crackers, sugar and almonds.)

📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
Can blueberry delight be made ahead?
I like to make my blueberry delight recipe the night before so that it has time to set completely before serving. Feel free to make this up to 2 days in advance of serving this dessert.
Can I substitute another type of nut for the almonds in the graham cracker crust?
If you are out of graham crackers or graham cracker crumbs, you can easily substitute in Nilla wafers, butter shortbread cookies, almond cookies or even leftover almond biscotti.
