Fresh Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie The Story I was preparing a unplanned lunch for my two sons, Nathan and Allen, and Allen’s at-the-time girlfriend, Laura. I wanted to have a dessert. When I looked in the refrigerator, I saw some fresh blueberries. Inside the pantry I found a graham-cracker pie crust. And that was the beginning… It was an instant hit, so when the wedding plans were developing, this fresh pie was an easy request to be served at their wedding for a dessert instead of a cake. Ingredients 1 package cream cheese (Wayfare or Daiya), room temperature Directions 1. Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat well with maple syrup, milk powder, vanilla, and cool whip. 2. Add the blueberries and gently mix. 3. Pour entire mixture into a graham-cracker pie or tart crust (can use a gluten free pie crust) 4. Chill at least 2 hours. Serve. For an attractive garnish, decorate pie with edible flowers (such as stalks), fresh blueberries, and mint leaves
1/4 c. maple syrup
3 tbsp. dry soy powder (Better Than Milk)
1/8 tsp. vanilla
1/3 c. cool whip (So Delicious Coconut Whip)
1 lb. fresh blueberries
Graham cracker or tart crust
