Didn't tweak, made as written.& saved. People end to go with the first recipe posted as it usually has the most stars. I like to read a few before I decide on one. Glad I did.

Excellent! I don't make a lot of recipes more than once (so many recipes, so little time!), but I do have a handful that I make again and again, like during blueberry season every year. This will be one of them. I've always thought it a shame to cook down beautiful fresh berries into a pie or other dessert and this is the perfect solution. Used Mean Chef's Classic Pie Crust #26205 which was sublime. I doubled the cream mixture and while it is very good, next time I will follow the recipe, just because I prefer a lot of blueberry flavor. I'll also cut the salt to 1/8 t. So good! Thanks, Lvs2Cook, for a fabulous recipe!

This was great! My family really loved this, and it was so easy to make. I also doubled the whipped cream mixture, and ended up adding 4 Tablespoons of powdered sugar. Thanks for a yummy recipe, I can see myself making this often!
