Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitute with crushed shortbread cookies for added richness.
  • 1/2 cup Melted Butter Optimal texture is achieved without substitutions.
For the Filling
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Coconut cream can be used for a dairy-free version, but texture will vary.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Ensure it's softened at room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Alternate sweeteners may alter the final result.
  • 1/2 cup Lemon Juice Fresh lemon juice is preferable for the best flavor.
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Zest Always use zest from fresh lemons for optimal aroma.
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries Feel free to substitute with raspberries if desired.

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • stand mixer or handheld mixer

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, mixing until the texture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Using a stand mixer or a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Carefully fold in the whipped cream.
  3. Pour half of the lemon cream mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Scatter a layer of fresh blueberries on top, then spread the remaining lemon cream over the blueberries. Decorate the top with more blueberries.
  4. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. Once chilled, carefully release the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cake into wedges and serve each slice cold, garnished with a sprinkle of lemon zest and fresh berries.
