Ingredients
  

For the blueberry glaze

  • 2 pints fresh blueberries About 4 cups
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1 1/2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

For the crust

  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped pecans Toasted or un-toasted

For the filling

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese Softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the blueberry glaze

  • In a saucepan, combine 1 pint blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon water over medium heat. Stir and lightly crush some berries.
  • When boiling, stir in cornstarch-water mixture until thickened (about 1 minute).
  • Remove from heat; stir in remaining blueberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Chill in the refrigerator.

Make the crust

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • Mix melted butter, flour, and pecans until evenly coated.
  • Press mixture into a greased 9x13-inch pan.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Cool.

Prepare the filling

  • Whip heavy cream and vanilla until thick but not over-whipped.
  • In another bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently.

Assemble the Jamboree

  • Spread cream cheese filling over the cooled crust.
  • Spoon blueberry glaze evenly over filling.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling. Don’t over-whip the heavy cream; it should be thick but still soft. Allow the Jamboree to chill overnight for the best texture.
