Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Topping

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • Lemon zest and extra blueberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter thoroughly, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch pan. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and firm up while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice, mixing well to combine the lemon flavor evenly throughout the mixture.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate clean bowl, use a mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, which means the cream holds shape but is still light and airy.
  4. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. This folding method keeps the filling light and fluffy without deflating the whipped cream.
  5. Assemble the cake: Spread half of the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Then layer the fresh blueberries evenly on top of this filling. Spread the remaining cream cheese filling over the blueberry layer to cover it completely.
  6. Garnish and chill: Decorate the top with extra blueberries and lemon zest for a vibrant finishing touch. Place the cake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to set properly.
  7. Serve: After chilling, slice into squares, serve, and enjoy the creamy, zesty lemon and fresh blueberry flavors in each bite.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
  • You can substitute fresh blueberries with other berries like raspberries or blackberries if preferred.
  • For best flavor, use fresh lemon zest and juice rather than bottled lemon juice.
  • Keep the cake refrigerated until serving to maintain its creamy texture.
  • This cake is best eaten within 2 days for optimal freshness.
