Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (such as Philadelphia®), softened 1 cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided 1 (1.3 ounce) envelope dry whipped topping mix (such as Dream Whip®) ½ cup cold milk 1 (9 inch) baked pie crust 1 (21 ounce) can blueberry pie filling

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by mixing the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract until everything is nice and smooth. In another bowl, prepare the dry whipped topping mix with cold milk and the rest of the vanilla extract, just like the package says. Once that’s ready, fold in the cream cheese mixture until it’s all combined. Pour the filling into your pie crust and pop it in the freezer for about two hours, or until it’s firm. When you’re ready to serve, let the pie thaw for about an hour and a half. Then, add the blueberry topping on before slicing and enjoying!
