  5. Divide the batter into two bowls, adding lemon jello powder to one bowl and fresh blueberries to the other bowl.
Assembling the cheesecake

  2. Scoop the blueberry cheesecake on top of the lemon layer and smooth the top with a spatula.
  3. Freeze for 4 hours to overnight for best results.
  4. Before serving, remove the pan from the freezer, and thaw for 15 to 20 minutes.
