Lemon Blueberry Topping

Notes
- It is important to use a wooden spoon when making the topping as metal utensils can cause a chemical reaction with citrus. Also, metal conducts heat differently and may affect the outcome.
- Using a low speed on the mixer will help to incorporate air better in the cheesecake, resulting in a lighter cake.
