- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
For the cheesecake layer:
- 24 oz (750g or 3 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups cool whip (a 1L container)
- 1 1/4 cups icing sugar (confectioners sugar or powdered sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the blueberry topping:
- 3 cups blueberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Topping: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water. Simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes until thick and syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the Crust: Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a large bowl. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of the pan and refrigerate.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add cool whip, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Top the cheesecake with the cooled blueberry topping. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours until set. Slice and serve.
Notes
- For a runnier blueberry topping, add more water.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps.
- Allow the cheesecake to chill properly to set and develop its flavors.
