Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water over medium heat. Gently smash some blueberries with a fork to release juices. Once boiling and sugar dissolves, mix in cornstarch. Stir until thickened, remove from heat, and fold in remaining blueberries, lemon zest, and juice. Cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, flour, and chopped pecans until blended. Press evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool completely.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Spread filling over cooled crust, smoothing the top.
- Once the topping has cooled, spoon it over the cheesecake filling evenly without disturbing the filling. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- Slice the dessert into squares with a sharp knife. Wipe the blade between cuts for cleaner edges. Enjoy as a refreshing treat!

Notes
Ensure to monitor sugar during the blueberry topping to prevent burning. Allow proper chilling time for the best texture and flavor.
