Delicious! I used a homemade pie filling (perfect blueberry pie filling by pastryismybiz) instead of the blueberries and jelly. We also used low fat cream cheese and lowfat sour cream, which turned out fine for us. We doubled the crust but used less sugar in the crust, which was delicious. Ours was done just short of 50 minutes, did crack, and seemed like maybe the outside edge was a bit overdone. It was not completely firm to the touch like the recipe indicated when I took it out. I would check it earlier and take out while still more jiggly in the center. That said, it was delicious, didn't require 5 packages of cream cheese like many, and used vanilla instead of lemon zest and juice! We didn't gave any lemons in the house and I searched a long time before settling on this recipe! Husband and kids absolutely loved it!!!
