Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter Or use a store-bought crust.
Cream Cheese Layer
  • 8 ounces cream cheese Softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest Optional but recommended
  • 1 cup whipped topping Or heavy cream whipped to soft peaks
Blueberry Topping
  • 2 cups blueberries Fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar, then stir in melted butter until it looks like wet sand.
  2. Press it into a pie dish, including up the sides. Pop it in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. If you want a firmer crust, you can bake it at 350 F for about 8 minutes, then cool completely.
Cream Cheese Filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and mix again. If using lemon zest, add it here.
  3. Gently fold in whipped topping or homemade whipped cream until fluffy.
  4. Spread the mixture into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
Blueberry Topping
  1. In a small saucepan, add blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
  2. In a separate cup, stir cornstarch with water until smooth, then pour it into the pan.
  3. Cook on medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and turns glossy, about 4 to 7 minutes.
  4. Let it cool before adding it to the pie to prevent melting the filling.
Assembly and Chilling
  1. Spoon the cooled blueberry topping over the cream cheese layer.
  2. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, with overnight being preferable for better slices.

Notes

For a firmer crust, consider baking it. Blueberries can be fresh or frozen. Ensure the topping cools before adding to prevent melting the filling.
