Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Whipped Cream
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 can (21 oz) blueberry pie filling
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chopped pecans, and softened butter. Mix until a crumbly dough forms. Press this dough evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to create the crust base.
- Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until it turns lightly golden. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely to ensure the creamy layers set properly.
- Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a clean bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, providing a creamy base layer.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream together with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This will add lightness and volume to the cream cheese layer.
- Combine the Creams: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Mix carefully to maintain the fluffy texture, ensuring the mixture is well combined without deflating the cream.
- Assemble the Dessert: Spread the combined creamy mixture evenly over the cooled crust, creating a smooth layer. Then, evenly spoon the blueberry pie filling over the top, distributing it to cover the entire surface.
- Chill Before Serving: Cover the assembled dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This chilling time allows the dessert to set and flavors to meld perfectly before serving.
Notes
- For a fresher flavor, substitute the canned blueberry pie filling with homemade fresh blueberry compote.
- To enhance the nutty flavor, toast the chopped pecans before adding them to the crust mixture.
