Preparation

  2. Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture for later use, then press the remaining crumbs into the bottom of a 9x9-inch pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In an electric mixer, combine the softened cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. In another bowl, whip the whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  6. Spread a little less than half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
  7. Spoon large dollops of blueberry pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer, then gently spread it evenly.
  8. Cover the blueberry filling with the remaining cream cheese mixture, spreading it evenly.
  9. Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs on top and cover the dish. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, use 1/3-less fat cream cheese. Cool Whip can be used instead of homemade whipped cream. Thicker layers are preferred; consider doubling the recipe for a 9x13-inch pan.
