Method
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Use a fork to blend until the crumbs are moistened, resembling wet sand.
- Set aside 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture for later.
- Press the remaining crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, creating a solid crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Assembly
- Spread a little less than half of the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture evenly over the crust base.
- Dollop the blueberry pie filling by large spoonfuls on top of the cream cheese layer, gently spreading it to cover as evenly as possible.
- Add the remaining cream cheese and whipped cream mixture on top of the blueberry layer, smoothing it out to cover the blueberries completely.
- Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs on top.
Chilling
- Cover the pan and refrigerate for several hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
For enhanced flavor, consider adding lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before slicing for easier cutting. Adjust the recipe for a larger pan as needed.
