- Whip Cream Cheese until fluffy. This is easily done when it is at room temperature, so take it out of the refrigerator if you have not already done so!
- Add 1 tsp Lemon Zest, 1 cup Confectioner's, 4 tbsp Lemon Juice, and 1 tsp Salt to cream cheese mixture and combine thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl whip 8 oz Heavy Cream. Combine into cream cheese mixture and set aside. (or add store bought whipped topping).

- In a small bowl mix 2 tbsp Cornstarch and 3 tbsp water and set aside.
- In a medium pot combine 3 cups Bluberries, 2 tsp Lemon Zest 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar, and 2 tbsp Brown Sugar over low heat.
- As mixture heats up continue to stir and crush blueberries.
- Once juice coats the bottom of the pot add in cornstarch mixture.
- Continue to stir and crush blueberries until you achieve a gooey blueberry filling consistency.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool at room temperature. The blueberry filling will become more viscous as it cools.
