The directions are lacking some pertinent information- like how much milk to mix with the pudding and you are on your own with the crust instructions. I was deep into the recipe when I noticed the omissions so I had to guess. I used 1/2 of the requested pudding and blueberries and it was plenty. I could have doubled the cream cheese layer- it came out thin. The final product did turn out impressive and brought great compliments but it was frustrating!
