Made it for a baby shower - everyone loved it, including people who don't like cheesecake.

I can't cook, and maybe I just got lucky, but my dinner guests though I bought these from a bakery! Seriously! Big hit with the hubby too. :)

I've made this recipe twice for special occasions; both on a sunny day. They were a big hit for those who loved blueberrys which are my favorite.

This recipe is amazing! I made it at my boyfriend's house and his whole family devoured it! Even the neighbors helped! I actually substituted raspberry pie filling for the jam and fresh blackberries for the blueberries. It was delicious.
