Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the pan.
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.
Pour the filling into the baked crust. Sprinkle the reserved blueberries across the top.

Loosen sides by running a knife along edges. Use the foil flaps to remove from pan. Top it off with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh blueberries if you like.
