Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large chilled bowl, whip 2 cups heavy whipping cream with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Spread a thin layer of lemon whipped cream on the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish. Arrange a single layer of 15 vanilla wafer cookies evenly over the cream.
  3. Step 3: Spoon half of the remaining whipped cream over the wafers, spreading gently to cover. Sprinkle 1 cup fresh blueberries evenly on top.
  4. Step 4: Repeat layering with 15 more vanilla wafers, the remaining whipped cream, and last 1 cup blueberries. Top with the remaining 10 wafers and a final dollop of whipped cream.
  5. Step 5: Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for the wafers to soften and flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
