For the Blueberry Topping:

Instructions
- Make the Crust
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish.
- Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.

- Add powdered sugar and vanilla, beat again.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

If making homemade topping:
- In a saucepan, add blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice.
- Bring to a simmer.
- Add the cornstarch slurry and cook until thick and glossy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Allow to cool completely.
If using pie filling: skip this step.
- Assemble
Spread the cooled blueberry topping over the cream cheese layer.
