16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
0.33 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1.5 cups fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press into a 9-inch springform pan. Chill.
2. In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer until berries burst. Add cornstarch slurry and stir until thick. Cool completely.
3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix until creamy.
4. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into lemon mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Pour half of lemon filling onto crust. Drop spoonfuls of blueberry mixture and swirl. Repeat with remaining filling and more blueberry topping. Smooth surface.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
7. Remove from springform pan. Decorate with whipped cream, lemon zest, and fresh blueberries before serving.
Notes
For clean slices, use a hot knife and wipe between cuts.
Always chill overnight for best results—don’t rush the setting time.
Be sure your blueberry compote is completely cooled before layering.
