Ingredients:
- 21 oz blueberry pie filling
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 15.25 oz lemon cake mix
- 4 oz cream cheese, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 0.5 tsp coarse sea salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the blueberry pie filling across the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the fresh blueberries and lemon juice evenly over the pie filling layer.
- Scatter the 1/2-inch cubes of cold cream cheese over the berry layer to create tangy pockets of filling.
- Evenly sprinkle the dry lemon cake mix over the fruit and cream cheese. Use a fork to gently level the powder without packing it down.
- Top the entire surface with the paper-thin butter slices, ensuring at least 90% coverage to prevent dry spots.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the top has achieved a firm, golden-brown crust. Garnish with lemon zest and coarse sea salt before serving.
