Notes
You can substitute two cans of fruit pie filling for the cooked filling in this recipe. Be sure to use regular pie filling and not fruit in syrup.If you prefer, you can substitute a graham cracker crust for the shortbread crust. To make a graham cracker crust, combine 1-¾ cup of graham cracker crumbs, six tablespoons of butter, and ⅓ cup of sugar and press it down evenly in the pan. You do not need to bake it.To substitute homemade whipped cream for the whipped topping, use your electric mixer to whip up one cup of heavy whipping cream with two tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue whipping until the mixture forms medium peaks, which should take about three to four minutes.If you don't have any self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1-½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt to one cup of all-purpose flour.Blueberry delight can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. It should not be frozen.Be sure your cream cheese is soft before mixing it with anything. If not put it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
