"The spring means fresh blueberries, and who doesn't love the fresh blueberries? We have all made lots of blueberry muffins, blueberry cobblers and more. Even if you don't have fresh blueberries on hand you can use frozen berries to make some blueberry pie. Thanks to fellow viewer Julie Doellingen for this Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie. This recipe is made with cream cheese."
