Ingredients
12 full-sheet graham crackers (180g crumbs)
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
16 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions

2. Pulse graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix with 1/4 cup sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan.
3. Bake the crust for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
4. Beat softened cream cheese for 1 minute until smooth. Add egg, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat for 3 minutes until creamy.
5. Gently fold in the blueberries by hand.

Use full-fat brick cream cheese for the best texture.
