Instructions

Step 1

Finely crush the vanilla cookies until they resemble sand.

Mix with melted butter, sugar, and salt.

Press firmly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish using the bottom of a measuring cup.

Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Beat softened cream cheese for about 3 minutes until smooth.

Add powdered sugar gradually.

Mix in lemon curd, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until creamy.

Spread evenly over the chilled crust.

Step 3

Carefully fold fresh blueberries into the whipped topping.

Spread gently over the cheesecake layer without pressing too hard.

Step 4

Beat the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until medium-stiff peaks form.

(Optional: beat in mascarpone for extra stability.)

Spread evenly over the blueberry layer.

Step 5

Decorate with fresh blueberries, lemon slices, lemon zest, and white chocolate curls.

Step 6

Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours.

For the cleanest slices, refrigerate overnight.

Serve chilled.

Notes

✔ Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest texture.

✔ Fresh blueberries provide the best appearance and prevent excess moisture.

✔ Dry the berries thoroughly after washing.

✔ Refrigerating overnight gives the cleanest layers.

✔ Do not overwhip the heavy cream.

✔ Always soften cream cheese before mixing.

✔ Use freshly grated lemon zest rather than bottled flavoring.

✔ Slice using a hot knife wiped clean after every cut.
