Instructions
- Prepare the graham cracker crust by mixing the crumbs with granulated sugar and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9 x 9-inch pan. Refrigerate.
- For the blueberry filling, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until softened. Thicken with a cornstarch and water mixture, then cool.
- Create the lemon curd by cooking sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and zest over medium-low heat. Stir in butter, then strain if desired. Chill until set.
- Make the lemon cream by mixing cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream until combined.
- Assemble by spreading half the lemon cream on the crust, adding half the blueberry filling, followed by half the lemon curd. Repeat the layers.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
- Prepare the whipped cream topping by whipping cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to stiff peaks. Spread over the cheesecake before serving.
