Ingredients
For the Crust:
Graham cracker crumbs
Melted butter
For the Lemon Cheesecake Layer:
Cream cheese
Sour cream (or strained yogurt)
Powdered sugar
Fresh lemon juice and zest
Vanilla extract
For the Blueberry Topping:
Fresh blueberries (optional: toss with lemon curd or honey)
Instructions
Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press firmly into the base of an 8×8 or 9×9-inch dish to form the crust.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Spread the lemon cheesecake mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until fully set.
Before serving, top with fresh blueberries — optionally tossed with a bit of lemon curd or honey for extra flavor.
Notes
For a deeper lemon flavor, add a swirl of lemon curd to the cheesecake layer before chilling.
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter texture.
Toasted pecans or almonds make a great crunchy addition to the crust.
Can be made up to a day in advance for stress-free entertaining.
