How to Make Light Blueberry Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups skim milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour the pudding mixture evenly over the crumb crust. Refrigerate while preparing the blueberry topping.
  6. In a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups fresh blueberries, ½ cup water, ½ cup Splenda (or other granulated sugar substitute), and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and ¼ cup cold water until smooth.
  8. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the boiling blueberry mixture, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
  9. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  10. Gently spread the cooled blueberry topping evenly over the chilled pudding layer.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled, before serving. Top with a dollop of light whipped cream, if desired.
