  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Bake on center rack of oven for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Using a mixer, beat cream cheese on high until creamy.
  • Mix in eggs, one at a time until combined. Add sugar, cream, lemon juice and salt, mixing well.
  • Add flour and mix until combined. Gently fold in blueberries, reserving about ½ cup for the top.

  • Crumble the reserved crust mixture over the top of filling.
  • Bake on center rack of the 350-degree oven for approximately 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
