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.
