Peaches & Blueberries Cream Delight a luscious, no-bake dessert layered with juicy peaches, plump blueberries, and fluffy whipped cream over a buttery graham cracker base—this Peaches & Blueberries Cream Delight is what I turn to when I want something refreshing, easy, and guaranteed to impress. It's a chilled treat that perfectly celebrates summer fruit and creamy indulgence in every bite.
Ingredients
(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
4 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
Directions
I start by combining the sliced peaches and blueberries in a bowl, tossing them with granulated sugar and lemon juice. I let them sit for at least 20 minutes so the juices can develop.
While the fruit macerates, I mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. I press half of this mixture into the base of a 9x9" dish or trifle bowl.
In another bowl, I beat the cream cheese until it's smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
Separately, I whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. I gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture to make a fluffy, light filling.
I layer half of the cream mixture over the crust, top it with half of the fruit, then repeat the layers.
I cover the dish and chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, which helps everything set and lets the flavors mingle beautifully.

Variations
I like to mix things up by using strawberries or raspberries instead of blueberries, or even adding a splash of peach schnapps to the fruit for a grown-up twist. For a crunchier bite, I sometimes stir chopped pecans into the graham cracker layer. To make it a bit lighter, I’ve used Greek yogurt in place of some cream cheese with delicious results.
Storage/Reheating
I keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Since this is a chilled dessert, I never freeze it—it can lose its creamy texture when thawed. I always serve it cold, straight from the fridge. No reheating needed!
FAQs
Can I make this dessert a day ahead?
Yes, I often make it the night before. In fact, letting it chill overnight deepens the flavors and firms up the layers even more.
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
I’ve used frozen fruit when fresh wasn’t available. I just make sure to thaw and drain it well to avoid extra liquid in the dessert.
Is there a dairy-free alternative?
Yes, I’ve tried this with dairy-free cream cheese and coconut whipped cream. The flavor changes slightly, but it still turns out rich and refreshing.
What can I use instead of graham crackers?
Crushed vanilla wafers, digestive biscuits, or shortbread cookies work beautifully. I just make sure they’re finely crushed to create a good base.
How do I prevent the fruit from getting watery?
Letting the fruit macerate helps control the moisture. If it seems too juicy, I strain a bit of the liquid before layering.
Conclusion
Peaches & Blueberries Cream Delight is one of those desserts I keep coming back to—easy to assemble, visually stunning, and layered with fresh, creamy flavor. It’s the kind of dish that disappears fast at potlucks and always leaves people asking for the recipe. Whether I make it for a summer gathering or just a cozy night in, it never fails to satisfy.
