Ingredients:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon lemon zest
¼ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
1 package (3 ounces) lemon-flavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
Directions:
Prepare the Crust:
Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Make the Gelatin:
Dissolve lemon gelatin in boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Add cold water and refrigerate until it starts to thicken but is not fully set.
Prepare the Cream Layer:
Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture.
Combine Gelatin and Cream:
Slowly fold the thickened gelatin into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Assemble the Cake:
Pour half of the cream mixture over the crust. Sprinkle half the blueberries evenly on top. Repeat with the remaining cream mixture and blueberries.
Chill:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Serve:
Remove from the pan, garnish with extra blueberries if desired, and slice to serve.
