Instructions

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture is well blended. Press it firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set this whipped cream aside for later use.
Make the lemon cream cheese mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
Combine whipped cream and cream cheese mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, carefully mixing to maintain a light and fluffy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
Assemble the cake: Spoon the lemon cream mixture onto the chilled graham cracker crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Add the toppings: Arrange fresh blueberries decoratively on top of the cream layer. If desired, drizzle with lemon curd for an extra bright flavor enhancement.
Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to firm up adequately.
Serve: Slice the cake and serve chilled to enjoy the creamy, zesty, and fruity flavors.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
You can substitute fresh blueberries with other berries if preferred.
For a tangier flavor, add extra lemon zest or lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture.
The lemon curd topping is optional but adds a lovely burst of lemon flavor.
Use a springform pan for easier removal of the cake if preferred.
