Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry for thickening)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry once the berries start to burst and thicken into a sauce for 3–4 minutes. Let it cool completely.
