My husband is crazy about cheesecake, but he isn’t so keen on fruit. However, when I made him this blueberry cheesecake dessert the other night he was gobbling it up like it was his last supper! He said that the berries were very sweet and paired well with the cream cheese filling. I thought the cake turned out pretty well, myself. Enjoy!
