Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 and ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs with ½ cup of melted butter until fully blended. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch square pan, ensuring the crust is compact and even. Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up while you prepare the filling.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with ½ cup of sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, mixing until fully combined and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and whip it using an electric mixer at high speed for about 3 to 4 minutes until soft peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until well combined.
  5. Spread half of the lemon cream filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Sprinkle 1 cup of fresh blueberries evenly over this layer, then spread the remaining cream filling on top.
  6. Top your cake with additional blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Once chilled and set, cut the cake into squares and serve cold.
