Ingredient	Measurement	Notes
Graham Cracker Crumbs	1.5 Cups	About 1 standard package (10-12 full sheets crushed)
Granulated Sugar	1/4 Cup	Just enough sweetness for balance
Unsalted Butter	6 Tablespoons	Melted, binds everything together perfectly

Directions (Crust):

Prep: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Give them a good stir to mix evenly.
Melt & Mix: Pour the melted butter over the crumb mixture. Stir well with a fork or spatula until all the crumbs are thoroughly moistened and resemble wet sand.
Form: Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie plate. Using the bottom of a flat-bottomed glass or your fingers, firmly press the crumb mixture evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Create a nice, even shell.
Chill Time: Place the prepared crust in the freezer for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the filling. This helps it firm up and prevents sogginess.

Ingredient	Measurement	Notes
Cream Cheese	8 Ounces	Full-fat, softened to room temperature for smoothness
Sweetened Condensed Milk	1 (14-ounce) can	The magic ingredient for creamy sweetness
Fresh Lemon Juice	1/4 Cup	Freshly squeezed for the best, brightest flavor!
Lemon Zest	1 Tablespoon	Finely grated, for intense lemon aroma and flavor
Vanilla Extract	1 Teaspoon	A classic flavor enhancer
Frozen Whipped Topping	8 Ounces	Thawed (like Cool Whip), for airy texture
Fresh Blueberries	1 Cup	Gently folded in for bursts of sweetness

Directions (Filling):

Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it is incredibly smooth and completely free of lumps (about 2-3 minutes).
Liquid Gold: Slowly beat in the entire can of sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is fully combined, thick, and perfectly creamy.
Lemon Power: Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Beat briefly until just combined. The mixture will smell amazing!
Airy Fold: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Do this slowly and carefully, lifting and turning the mixture, to keep it light and airy. Stop as soon as it’s fully incorporated—don’t overmix!
Berry Bliss: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries. Try not to crush them too much; you want those beautiful, whole bursts of fruit.
Assemble & Chill: Pour the luscious filling into your chilled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the pie plate tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but overnight is highly recommended for the best set and flavor development.
