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!
Can you freeze after made
This recipe can be prepared, cooled and frozen to step 3. To serve, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then top with whipped cream and cookie crumbs.
My all time favorite desert, first my mother and then my wife have been making this one for me. I just pick a big bucket of fresh wild blueberries (they work best for this recipe) and you know where they are going.
My dear friend made this and I so enjoyed, along with other friends,
We both have made it and I must say my grandchildren absolutely loved it, as well as their parents.
This is a keeper for sure.
