Blueberry Cream Tart

Yummy. Almost like a no bake cheese cake but I think the nut crust is an improvement over a graham crust for that. Definitely want to try again with fresh blueberries this time. Peaches might be good as well.

Crust: Granny's no-roll nut crust
1 C flour
1/2 C butter/margarine, softened
1/4 C finely chopped walnuts
1/4 C powdered sugar

Mix all ingredients until soft and pliable. Press evenly against bottom and sides of pie pan. Prick bottom and sides with a fork. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely before filling.

Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 C sour cream
1/2 C powdered sugar

In mixer bowl, cream softened cream cheese, add sugar and sour cream and blend until smooth and fluffy. Pour onto cooled crust.

Berry Layer:
3 C fresh blueberries (tried frozen, okay, but fresh would be much better)
1 C sugar
1 C water

Put berries in a strainer over a pan. Simmer sugar and water in a small saucepan for 1 minute. Take off heat and pour over berries immediately. Toss berries slightly in strainer. Take syrup from the catch pan under the berries and pour over berries once more, with the saucepan as the catchpan. Drain berries completely and distribute over top of refrigerated filling. They will be sticky and will hold together. Refrigerate until served.
