– 2 cups fresh blueberries
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup sour cream
– 2 cups crushed graham crackers
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Follow these simple steps to create the delightful Magnolia Bakery Blueberry Jamboree:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Stir until evenly mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
2. Mix Blueberries: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries, ½ cup of the granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook while stirring until the blueberries soften and burst, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the remaining sugar and mix until well combined.
4. Add Sour Cream: Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and creamy.
5. Whip Heavy Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
6. Combine Mixtures: Add half of the blueberry mixture to the cream cheese mixture, gently folding to combine. The remaining blueberries will be reserved for topping.
7. Layer the Dessert: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in the springform pan. Add a layer of the remaining blueberry filling. Top with the remaining cream cheese mixture and smooth it out evenly.
8. Chill: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or until set. For the best texture, chill it overnight!
9. Serve: Once set, remove the sides of the springform pan. Top the dessert with the reserved blueberry mixture, spreading it evenly across the top.
