If the number 2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still number 2?
Can I use fresh blueberries?
Absolutely!
Do you soften cream cheese first??
Yes, softened cream cheese works best here for spreading.
Love this dessert have made it for years. Was wondering if I double the cheese layer how long to bake.
Hi Debbie, we suggest you bake an additional 15 minutes, then checking the doneness every 5 minutes, until the cheese portion is set. Enjoy the experiment!
Is the pan greased?
Hello! You can grease the pan if desired, but it is not necessary. Enjoy!
