Notes
Nothing reminds me more of my Grandma Bevan than this dessert. As a child I would scrape off all of the blueberries onto the side of my plate and funny thing, I still scrape them off before I take a bite. I love all the flavor burst in such simple dessert. This was a regular treat at grandmas, probably because it is so easy to make. Making it for my family brings back so many great memories.
It is the perfect blend of cheesecake/graham crackers with the sweetness of the berry filling. In fact if blueberries aren’t your thing you could totally add any pie filling. I think I’d still scrape off the filling no matter what it is out of habit. But the taste will blow you away. I love being able to make a dessert in ten minutes and have in in the oven. Chill and add topping and you are set!
Maybe you have similar memories of this sweet treat. Somehow they always trigger the best memories for me.
