Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs

- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping

Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch square baking dish to form the crust.
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping until well combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
- Pour the cooled blueberry mixture on top of the cream cheese layer and spread it out evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- When ready to serve, garnish with additional blueberries and dollops of whipped cream.
- Cut into squares and enjoy!
