Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar (for filling)
- 0.25 cups lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1.5 cups blueberries, fresh
- 0.25 cups blueberry preserves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides to form an even crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
Spread the lemon cream filling evenly over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the blueberry preserves until slightly runny. Let cool for a minute.
Gently toss the fresh blueberries in the warmed preserves to coat them lightly.
Spread the coated blueberries evenly over the top of the lemon cream layer.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Lemon Blueberry Cream Pie!
