In a small saucepan, warm the mixed berries and sugar with a splash of water over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in a slurry made from cornstarch and water. Simmer until slightly thickened, then let cool completely.

Whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until perfectly smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
