Instructions

In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
Firmly press this mixture into a 9-inch deep pie dish to form the crust. Chill while making the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well.
Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until combined.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
Spread the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a saucepan, combine 2 cups blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and the cornstarch mixture. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring frequently.
Once thickened, remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring the blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Chill the pie for at least 4 hours or until set. Slice and serve cool.

Notes

Using fresh blueberries enhances the flavor, but frozen can be used as a substitute.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing to avoid lumps in the filling.
Allowing the pie to chill properly is essential for achieving the right consistency.
