Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine frozen blueberries, ¼ cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of corn starch, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Stir constantly until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Puree the sauce, then strain and cool.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix crushed graham crackers, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt with melted butter. Press into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
- In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Gradually mix in cooled blueberry puree and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Gently fold into the blueberry cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Once set, remove the sides of the springform pan, drizzle with extra blueberry sauce, and garnish with edible flowers.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are cold for the best whipping results. Skipping the baking step for the crust is an option if you are short on time.
