Blueberry Delight is an airy “puff” dessert with blueberries without baking. This is a kind of cheesecake souffle that lies on the crust of crackers and pecan. Okay, it’s almost without baking.
You still have to brown the crust a little in the oven. This crust includes pecans, and I promise that the nutty taste is worth it!
I have been able to cook such desserts for a long time with my eyes closed. This dessert is quick, easy, delicate, and … still a little different from the other ones.
What’s the Difference? In a crust! It consists not only of crackers and butter, as is usually the case. Pecan is the key to success. By the way, you can add pecans not only to the crust but also to sprinkle the pie on top!
How to make a blueberry delight?
- Beat the graham cracker and nuts in a blender until sandy. Melt the butter and combine it with crackers, sugar, and nuts. Put in a baking dish, tamp with your hands and bake for 8 minutes in a preheated oven.
- Then beat with a mixer cream cheese, milk, and powdered sugar.
- Combine with the whipped cream or cook yourself. After the crust has cooled, put half of the whipped creamy mass, smooth. Put a thick layer of blueberry filling and cover with the second half of whipped cream.
- Cool in the refrigerator. Garnish the cake with blueberries before serving.
How to cook your own blueberry filling?
Take 10 ounces of frozen berries and put them in a saucepan.
Pour 1/2 cup of water and cook over low heat until the berries give juice. Add 4-5 tablespoons of sugar (or as you like) and 4 tablespoons of corn starch. Cook, stirring until the mixture thickens.
If the juice will be too much, then add a little more starch. Be sure to cool the blueberry filling before use in this dessert!
Tips to make Blueberry Delight
- Cover the bottom of the baking dish with parchment. Or grease with butter to prevent the crust from sticking.
- You can replace the blueberry filling with strawberry or cherry.
- For a special flavor, add almond extract to the creamy mixture.
- Decorate the cake with any fresh berries, nuts, almond chips, or chocolate chips.
- Garnish with fresh berries just before serving. Berries can let the juice go and the appearance will be ruined.
