Description
A layered dessert featuring creamy filling, buttery crust, and vibrant blueberry glaze, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pints fresh blueberries (about 4 cups)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1 1/2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted or un-toasted)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the Blueberry Glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 pint of blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir gently and crush some berries with the back of a spoon. Once boiling, add the cornstarch-water mixture and stir until thickened, which will take about 1 minute. Remove from heat, fold in the remaining blueberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice, then chill in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, flour, and chopped pecans, making sure everything is evenly coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden. Let cool.
- Whip Up the Cream Filling: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla until thickened, being careful not to over-whip. In another bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well blended.
- Assemble the Jamboree: Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese filling evenly over it. Spoon the chilled blueberry glaze on top of the filling, covering it as desired. Finally, cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes or overnight until set.
