9. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest, stirring frequently.
10. Bring the blueberry mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes until blueberries soften and release juices.
11. Stir in the cornstarch-water slurry and continue cooking for 2 more minutes until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.
12. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the blueberry lemon compote cool for 5 minutes to prevent melting the cheesecake layer.
13. Spread the warm compote evenly over the cheesecake layer, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup fresh blueberries on top.
14. Spread 1 cup whipped cream over the blueberry layer as the final topping.
15. Garnish with additional blueberries and lemon slices for a vibrant presentation.
16. Refrigerate the dessert lasagna for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow all layers to set firmly.
17. Slice into 12 portions using a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts for neat edges.
Layers of creamy cheesecake meld with tart blueberry lemon compote and a buttery graham cracker base for a dessert that’s both refreshing and indulgent. Serve chilled with extra lemon zest sprinkled on top for a zesty kick, or pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance the bright fruit flavors. The texture holds up beautifully for picnics or potlucks—just keep it cool until ready to enjoy.
