Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize graham crackers into fine crumbs, melding with melted butter until a cohesive mixture forms. Press the blend firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring an even, compact layer across bottom and sides.
- Filling Fusion: Whip cream cheese until silky smooth, gradually incorporating sweetened condensed milk. Blend in fresh lemon zest and juice, creating a vibrant, tangy base that promises bright, citrusy notes.
- Blueberry Integration: Gently fold plump, ripe blueberries into the lemon-cream mixture, distributing them evenly to ensure each slice delivers a burst of fruity complexity.
- Chilling Technique: Transfer the pie to the refrigerator, allowing it to set and solidify for a minimum of 4 hours. This crucial resting period enables the filling to achieve a perfect, sliceable consistency.
- Decorative Finishing: Before serving, garnish the pie’s surface with additional fresh blueberries, delicate lemon zest curls, and a light dusting of powdered sugar, elevating both visual appeal and flavor profile.
