Blueberry Lemon Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
02 -
1/4 cup lemon curd (optional)
03 -
2 tablespoons honey
04 -
1 cup heavy whipping cream
05 -
1/2 cup powdered sugar
06 -
4 tablespoons butter, melted
07 -
1 tablespoon lemon zest
08 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 -
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
10 -
2 tablespoons lemon juice
11 -
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, butter, and honey in a bowl until it comes together. Push this into your pie or tart pan to make the crust. Let it bake for about 8-10 minutes till it’s a light golden color. Pull it out and let it cool off.
02 -
Start by mixing the cream cheese till it’s smooth and creamy. Slowly sprinkle in the powdered sugar, then toss in the lemon zest and juice, beating it all together till it’s a soft, smooth mixture.
03 -
In a bowl, beat the whipped cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Don’t rush. Add this fluffy cream to the cream cheese mixture, carefully folding it together so it stays light.
04 -
Throw in the fresh blueberries and slowly fold them in. Make sure they’re spread through the filling evenly.
05 -
Spread the mixed filling on top of the cooled crust. Smooth it out with your spatula. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours until it’s firm.
06 -
For an extra touch, drizzle some lemon curd on top just before serving if you like.
# Notes:

Chilling it lets the dessert firm up and brings out more flavor.
