1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
For the Blueberry Topping
2 cups fresh blueberries
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
Step 2: Make the Lemon Cream Filling
Beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust.
Step 3: Prepare the Blueberry Topping
In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Mix cornstarch with water and add to the saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the blueberries soften and the sauce thickens.
Allow the topping to cool completely.
Step 4: Assemble the Cake
Spoon the cooled blueberry topping over the lemon cream layer.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Slice and serve chilled.
Delicious Variations
Add fresh raspberries or strawberries for a mixed-berry version.
Use a vanilla cookie crust instead of graham crackers.
Top with white chocolate shavings for extra indulgence.
Add a layer of lemon curd between the filling and blueberry topping.
Tips for Success
Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
Chill the cake thoroughly before slicing.
Fresh lemon juice provides the brightest flavor.
For cleaner slices, dip your knife in warm water and wipe between cuts.
