For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, thawed
For the topping:
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form a crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; beat until creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping. Spread this mixture over the chilled crust.
- Cook the Blueberry Topping: In a saucepan, mix the blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes clear.
- Assemble: Pour the hot blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer. Smooth it out to cover the filling evenly.
