Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). A preheated oven is essential for that perfect cheesecake rise.
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham crackers and vanilla wafers with the melted butter until everything is well-coated. Pack the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan for a sturdy base.
- In a food processor, add ricotta, mascarpone, flour, and heavy cream. Blend until light and creamy, then add sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and the eggs. Mix until just smooth.
- Gently incorporate the blueberries, being cautious not to crush them.
- Pour the filling over the crust and level the top. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let it rest inside for an additional 30 minutes without opening the door.
- After the baking is complete, let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature.
- Spread the lemon curd over the cooled cheesecake, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
- Before serving, adorn with lemon slices for that touch of elegance.

Notes
For a richer flavor, try using lemon extract in addition to the zest. If your blueberry supply is low, feel free to swap in other berries like strawberries or raspberries.
