In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well using an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. Blend until well combined and the mixture is light and fluffy.
Gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping until no streaks remain. This will give the filling a light and airy texture.
Carefully fold in the blueberries and blackberries, mixing just enough to distribute the berries without breaking them.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or serving dish, spreading it evenly.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the filling to set.
Serve chilled, optionally garnishing with lemon slices or additional berries.
This dessert is best served chilled and can be made a few hours in advance. Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar based on your preference. Fresh berries will provide the best flavor, but frozen berries can be used in a pinch; just thaw and drain excess liquid before adding.
