For an extra touch, brush the baked crust with a beaten egg white before baking to create a moisture barrier that helps prevent a soggy bottom. If you don't have fresh lemon zest, a few drops of lemon juice will also work well. For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar in the cooked blueberry mixture. Serve chilled, topped with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
