NO-BAKE BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS

Steps:

• Mix crust ingredients and press into a 9 x 9-inch pan. Set aside.
• Place 1/2 cup of the cream in a microwave-safe container. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cream. Let sit for 5 minutes, then microwave at HI for about 30 seconds or until cream is very hot. Stir well to dissolve the gelatin.
• Place softened cream cheese in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the confectioner's sugar and vanilla. NOTE: I found 1/4 cup + 2 tbs of confectioner's sugar was the right amount of sweet for me, but start out at 3 tbs or 1/4 cup and taste it, adding more if you need it--there's no raw eggs so you won't get sick tasting the filling!
• Add the cream/gelatin mixture and the remaining 2 tbs of cream and beat until light, fluffy and smooth (the secret to the great texture). Pour filling over the crust and refrigerate until well chilled and set.
• Spread desired amount of pie filling on top & cut into bars.
• Yields 9 servings.
