Add the milk, shortening, 1 egg, and lemon extract, and use an electric mixer to mix on low speed for 1 minute, then on medium speed for 1 minute. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread evenly. Sprinkle blueberries over the batter.
• In a medium bowl, stir together 2 beaten eggs, ricotta cheese, 1/3 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract. Spoon this mixture over the blueberries, and spread evenly.

Steps:

• Pulse cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and butter; pulse until all crumbs are moist (you should have about 3 1/2 cups). Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan; refrigerate while making filling.
• Blend ricotta, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, zest, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice in clean food processor until very smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Beat cream on medium-high speed to stiff peaks, then fold into ricotta mixture
• Dollop 2 1/2 cups cream mixture over crust; spread evenly to cover with an offset spatula. Top with 2 cups berries. Dollop with remaining cream mixture; spread to cover berries. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
• In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 1/2 cups blueberries with 2 tablespoons water and remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until blueberries begin to burst, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water; stir into blueberry mixture. Bring to a boil, then cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 more cup berries; let cool completely. Spoon berry mixture over chilled cake. Garnish with remaining 1/2 cup berries and mint leaves. (Leftovers can be refrigerated, wrapped in plastic, up to 2 days.)

Steps:

• Crepe batter: Melt butter in small skillet over medium high heat until butter takes on a golden brown color. Turn off heat, let cool slightly. In a blender, combine flour, sugar, salt. Run blender for 5 secs to combine. Add eggs, milk, browned butter to blender, run for 20 to 30 secs. Scrape down sides of blender with rubber spatula, add vanilla. Run blender on high 10 secs to combine. Transfer to bowl, let rest in fridge for 30 to 60 mins. Cheese filling: In food processor, combine ricotta, cream cheese, powdered sugar and zest. Process for 30 secs or until completely combined. Blueberry filling: In saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, butter, ¼ cup water. Cover, cook 7 minutes over medium high heat or until the mixture is boiling and mostly liquid. In small mixing bowl, combine cornstarch with 3 Tbls of cold water, and whisk until smooth. Pour this cornstarch into the boiling blueberry mixture, whisking constantly until the mixture has thickened. Let the blueberry mixture cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes to thicken further, then remove from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. To assemble: Melt about ½ tablespoon of butter or enough to just lightly coat a small crepe pan (or 8" nonstick skillet). Over medium heat, pour ¼ cup crepe batter into the center of the pan, then swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the pan. Let the crepe cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the edges begin to set. Then carefully flip over and cook on the second side approximately 1 minute until the crepe is thoroughly cooked. When all crepes have been made, assemble the crepe cake. Begin with a crepe on the bottom and top with a thin layer of cheese filling. Top this with another crepe and then a thin layer of blueberry filling. Continue this pattern until you have a cake that is 8-10 crepes in height. Top the crepe cake with sliced mint and powdered sugar.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, milk and egg. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour., Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 2 tablespoons batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack., Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between. (Crepes may be made in advance and refrigerated, tightly covered, until needed.), For filling, in a large bowl, beat the cheese, cream, lemon juice and pudding mix until well-blended. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes., Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pudding mixture onto each crepe; roll up. Top with remaining pudding mixture; garnish with blueberry pie filling.
