Ingredients
For the Base:
- 2 cups crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- ½ cup melted butter
For the Lemon Cream Layer:
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Blueberry Layer:
- 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water
For Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Lemon slices or zest
- Fresh blueberries
Instructions
Start by preparing the base. In a bowl, mix crushed biscuits with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or serving dish. Use the back of a spoon to make it even and compact. Place it in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to set.
Next, prepare the blueberry layer. In a saucepan over medium heat, add blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the berries start to break down and release their juices. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 2–3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Now make the lemon cream filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture until light and fluffy.
Take the chilled base from the fridge. Spread half of the lemon cream mixture evenly over the biscuit base. Then add a layer of the cooled blueberry mixture, spreading it gently. Add the remaining lemon cream on top and smooth the surface.
Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, so it sets properly and the flavors blend beautifully.
Before serving, decorate with whipped cream, fresh blueberries, and a little lemon zest or slices for a bright, elegant look.
Serving
Slice carefully using a sharp knife for clean layers. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
Tips
- Make sure the blueberry layer is fully cooled before assembling
- Chill long enough for clean slices
- You can use store-bought blueberry sauce if short on time
