Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Add the heavy whipping cream to a mixer bowl. Beat it at low speed for about 2 minutes, then increase to medium-high. Whip until it starts to thicken and soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Reserve 2 cups of this sweetened whipped cream for the filling and the rest for layering.
- In the same mixer bowl, add softened cream cheese. Beat at medium speed for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until it’s whipped and creamy.
- Add the blueberry pie filling, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the cream cheese. Beat until everything is well combined.
- Gently fold in the 2 cups of reserved sweetened whipped cream into the blueberry mixture until thoroughly combined.
Assembly
- Fill pastry bags with the blueberry filling and another with the remaining sweetened whipped cream. Layer into 5-ounce dessert glasses or small bowls in the order: blueberry filling, whipped cream, fresh blueberries, and repeat the layers.
- Top with additional blueberries and a slice of lemon if desired. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Make this dessert ahead of time for the flavors to develop overnight. Consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture for extra depth. Feel free to replace the blueberry filling with raspberry or strawberry for a different twist.
