# How to Make It:
01 -
Combine 1 pint of blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly and gently crush the blueberries to release liquid and prevent sugar from burning. Once the mixture boils, add the cornstarch-water mixture. Stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, add the remaining pint of blueberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well and let cool completely in the refrigerator.
02 -
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, flour, and chopped pecans until well mixed. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes and let cool completely. Refrigerate to speed up cooling.
03 -
In one bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla until thick but not fully whipped. In a second bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Combine both mixtures in the larger bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
04 -
Spread the filling evenly over the cooled crust. Gently spoon the cooled blueberry topping over the filling, ensuring even coverage. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
