  • Combine the blueberries and sugar in a small saucepan over low-medium heat, for about 4-5 minutes, until blueberries just start to break apart.

  • Beat cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest and vanilla for 2 minutes, using medium speed, until it thickens. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag.
