# Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and honey until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie or tart pan to form a crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until creamy and well combined.

In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Spread the blueberry mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.

If desired, top with a drizzle of lemon curd for extra flavor before serving.
