Ingredients

• Blueberry Topping/Glaze:

• 1/4 c. granulated sugar
• 2 T. brown sugar
• 1 T. water
• 1 1/2 T. cornstarch, mixed with 1½ T. water
• 1 t. lemon zest
• 1/2 t. lemon juice
• Crust:
• 3/4 c. butter, melted
• 2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 c. chopped pecans, toasted or un-toasted (for a richer, nuttier flavor)
• Filling:
• 2 c. heavy whipping cream
• 2 c. + 2 T. powdered sugar
• 16 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1 t. vanilla

Steps

1. Blueberry Topping/Glaze:
2. Combine 1 pint blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar and 1 T. water in a small or medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly, smashing some of the blueberries to make more liquid to keep sugar from burning.
3. Once sugar is dissolved and blueberry mixture is starting to boil, pour in the water-cornstarch mixture; stir constantly while mixture comes back to a boil and thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
