In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the fresh blueberries. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have burst and released their juices.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the blueberry mixture to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract, stevia or monk fruit sweetener, lemon zest, and salt to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
Once the blueberry mixture has cooled to room temperature, add it to the cream cheese mixture.
Beat the mixture until the blueberries are evenly distributed and the cream cheese is smooth and light purple.
Transfer the blueberry cream cheese to a serving dish or airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled on bagels, toast, or use as a fruity topping for desserts.
