Preparation Steps
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch square pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add lemon zest and lemon juice, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon cream cheese mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined for a fluffy filling.
- Spread half of the lemon cream filling over the chilled crust. Sprinkle 1 cup of fresh blueberries evenly on top, then layer the remaining cream filling over the blueberries.
- Sprinkle additional blueberries and lemon zest on top for garnish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.

Notes
For the best flavor, let the cake chill overnight to allow flavors to meld. Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
