Blueberry Pie

Searching for a good dessert idea for the Fourth of July?  Well, look no further!  This pie is super easy & DELICIOUS.  I got the recipe from my sister-in-law who got it from Michael's grandmother.  It's one of Michael's favorite desserts.  He had told me he loved blueberry pie & I've been with him for ten years & counting, but I just found out this was the recipe he loved earlier this year.  It's so easy, I could have made it for him in our early years, which is saying a lot since I was even a worse cook than I am now...  Anyway, it's probably for the best (for our waistlines) since I've made this pie at least three times in the last four months!

Granee's Blueberry Delight

Ingredients:
1 prepared graham cracker crust
1 can blueberry pie filling
8 oz cream cheese - room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 container Cool Whip

Directions:
Blend together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and half of the Cool Whip.  Spread cream cheese mixture in prepared graham cracker crust.  Top with blueberry pie filling.  Top with remaining Cool Whip.

So yummy!  I make a few adjustments - I use Lite Cool Whip because I prefer it to regular Cool Whip & I only use 1/2 cup powdered sugar at Michael's request (he thinks a cup makes it too sweet - I don't mind it but I have to say it's still delicious using half the amount, so why not?)  Also, you'll need to refrigerate it for at least a few hours if you want the slices to look perfect & pretty.  If you don't mind a sloppy mess on the plate (I don't, it tastes the same either way - ha), you can serve right away.

Plus, it's easy to make this a patriotic dessert - just serve on red plates!  I hope everyone has a fabulous & festive holiday!!
