Cherry Yum Yum and Blueberry Yum Yum is a classic recipe that was passed down from my Nana. She made it every 4th of July holiday.
When it is hot outside sometimes the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven. But let’s face it, sometimes a girl needs a sweet treat and that is why I love a no bake dessert. This no bake Yum Yum Pie is one of my absolute favorites.
Ingredients Needed:
Graham Cracker Crumbs – These are used for the crust.
Butter – Binds the crust together.
Sugar
Milk
Cream Cheese – Used for the creamy layer.
Pie Filling – Use your favorite pie filling. For this recipe I used half cherry and half blueberry.
Dream Whip – Used for the cream layer. You can find this in the baking aisle.
How to Make Blueberry Yum Yum Pie
Scroll to the bottom for the full printable recipe and ingredient list.
- This recipe starts with a delicious graham cracker crust. Take one box of graham crackers and crush them up in a food processor. Stir in some sugar and butter and then press half of the mixture into a 9×13 baking dish.
- Next, mix cold milk, cream cheese, and Dream Whip until nice and smooth. Spread half of the mixture over the graham cracker crust.
- Next, I like using half cherry, half blueberry pie filling but you can use your favorite if you don’t want both.
- Layer on the remaining cream cheese mixture and finally the remaining graham cracker mixture then chill for at least 2 hours.
Tips for the perfect Cherry Yum Yum
- You can find Dream Whip in the baking aisle, usually close to the JELLO section. Dream Whip is a non-dairy powder when mixed with milk, makes a whipped topping.
- Let the cream cheese sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes to make it easier to whip.
- You can make this a classic cherry yum yum with all cherries or use all blueberries if you prefer.

Please clarify step 5. Mix the fillings together before spreading on cream cheese mixture?

Hi Louise, You will start by mixing together melted butter, crushed graham crackers, and sugar to make the crust. Next you will use an electric mixer and mix together cream cheese, milk, and the Dream Whip. Spread half of that mixture over the graham cracker crust. Next put cherry (or blueberry) filling over the cream cheese mixture. Then spread the rest of the cream cheese mixture over the cherries. Hope that helps.

This is a great recipe but I haven’t made it in a long time, so I have a quick question.
Do you mix the dream whip according to the directions on the box and then add an additional cup of milk with the cream cheese or do you just use 1 cup of milk, cream cheese and the dream whip dry powder?
heather
Thanks Melissa,
You just mix the Dream whip powder in with the one cup of milk and cream cheese. Hope this helps!
Melissa
Thank you.
Happy Easter!

Wonderful recipe. Easy and delicious! Great on a warm summer day. My whole family loves this!
heather
Thanks Terri!!
Christina
This looks so good 🙂 Could I use Coolwhip in place dream whip?
heather
Thank you Christina! You could use Coolwhip but I will say Dream Whip is a little stiffer in consistency. The Dream Whip used in this recipe equals 2 cups so you will need 2 cups of Coolwhip. Hope this helps.
Carolyn
Can you use fresh blueberries? And if so what would you put in for the sauce?
heather
Hi Carolyn! Yes you can absolutely use fresh blueberries. Here is a recipe I have used before and really liked. http://www.kleinworthco.com/2014/05/blueberry-pie-filling.html/2
