Ingredients

Crust:

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, or your favorite type of nuts

Filling:

2 (3-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 (21-ounce) can blueberry pie filling

Directions

Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine powdered sugar, flour, and butter in the bowl of a food processor, processing until mixture forms a ball (you can combine dough by hand, if desired). With your fingers, press dough into a 12-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, taking care to push crust into indentations in tart pan. Pat nuts onto crust. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until very lightly browned. Let cool completely before filling.

Filling: In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar. In a separate mixing bowl with the hand mixer, beat the heavy cream with the sugar until it forms soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Spoon this mixture into the cooled pie shell and top it with blueberry pie filling. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours.

Paula's sweets are the best & easiest to make
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The only thing I did different was to not put the nuts into the crust but laid them on top in large pieces only because a few... people in my family have an allergy so this way they could pick them out. It was a big hit & so easy to make.Read more

Fresh is always best
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this twice, the first time using the pie filling, the second using fresh berries. It is a good recipe, but using fresh... berries made it great. What a difference!Read more

Cream Cheese
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Zelma ~ you CAN find cream cheese in 3-oz packages. Should be close to the 8-oz ones.

Question for reviewers
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I haven't made this recipe yet, because I actually have a question first. I noticed it says 2 3-oz packages of cream cheese,... but cream cheese usually comes in 8-oz packages. Was this a typo and it should be 2 8-oz packages, or should I just use 6 oz out of the 8 oz in my package???Read more

Most Impressive!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thank you so much Paula!! This blew my poker guests right out of the water, we couldn't even continue our game! And as... someone who hates to bake, I couldn't be more thrilled with how easy it was to make and the finished product. Plus it tasted amazing! I will be making it again soon :) Read more
