Ingredients
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons melted butter
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 package (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
1 ¾ cups cold milk
2 cups whipped topping or whipped cream

2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
4. Add fresh blueberries and fold gently. Spread this filling over the chilled crust.
5. In another bowl, whisk lemon pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. Pour over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly. Chill for 30 minutes.

7. Garnish with lemon slices, extra zest, and blueberries.
8. Chill the entire cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture.

Notes
Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the most vibrant citrus flavor.
Chill the cake overnight for clean, firm slices and enhanced flavor.
