Ingredients

• Base and topping
• 2 cups flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 stick butter diced
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Blueberry Mixture
• 1 pint blueberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoon corn starch
• Cream Cheese Mixture
• 8 oz package cream cheese
• 1/2 cup sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 conventional not convection.
Start by coating a 9 by 9 glass baking dish with butter. Dice 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter.
Mix 2 cups flour, ¾ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 egg and the butter. Cut the butter into the mixture with either a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly.
Press half of the crumble mixture in the buttered dish. Bake to firm up some for 8 minutes.
While the base is baking, clean and dry 1 pint of blueberries. Fresh preferred but frozen should be fine. Add 2 teaspoon corn starch and ½ cup sugar. Mix well.
Combine 8 oz of cream cheese, ½ cup sugar and 1 egg. Beat with mixer until smooth.
When crust is done, top with cream cheese mixture, then the blueberries and lastly with the rest of the crumble.
Bake until nicely browned. About 40 minutes.
Cool in a refrigerator for at least 2 hours and longer if possible before cutting.
