Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

0.5 cup unsalted butter melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

16 oz cream cheese softened

0.75 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1.5 cups heavy whipping cream cold

1.5 cups fresh blueberries

2 tablespoons blueberry jam or preserves (optional)

1 cup whipped cream (for topping)

lemon slices (for garnish)

lemon zest curls (for garnish)

fresh blueberries (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

3. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and lump-free.

4. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Beat again to combine.

5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft-medium peaks form.

6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon cream cheese mixture to maintain volume.

7. Spread half the lemon cream filling onto the chilled crust and smooth the top.

8. Sprinkle with fresh blueberries and optional blueberry jam for added flavor.

9. Add the remaining filling, smooth it out, and tap to release air bubbles.

10. Chill the cake in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.

11. Once set, remove from pan, decorate with whipped cream, lemon slices, zest curls, and more blueberries.

12. Slice with a hot knife for clean cuts and serve chilled.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother texture.

Don’t skip the chilling time—overnight is best for clean slices.

Gently fold in whipped cream to maintain the light, airy filling.
