Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 whole graham crackers
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 can (21-ounce) blueberry pie filling
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • chopped pecans for garnish

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Frying Pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Start with the crust. Add 10 whole graham crackers and 1 cup pecans into a food processor. Pulse until they are coarse crumbs. You want a fine consistency, but not powdery. This will serve as a hearty base for your squares.
  2. Next, pour the crumb mixture into a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Mix until everything is well combined. It should look like wet sand and hold together when pressed.
  3. With your mixture ready, press it evenly into the bottom of an 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to compact the crust. This will ensure a solid base that holds up when cut.
  4. Now, it’s time for the creamy layer. In a large bowl, combine 8 ounces softened cream cheese and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be free of lumps and velvety smooth.
  5. Next, stir in 1 (21-ounce) can blueberry pie filling by hand until fully combined. You want to be gentle to keep some of the blueberry chunks intact. This will add wonderful flavor and texture.
  6. Spread the cream cheese and blueberry mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Make sure to reach the edges for an even distribution, ensuring every bite has that delicious filling.
  7. Now for the whipped cream topping! In another large bowl, add 2 cups heavy whipping cream and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until medium-stiff peaks form. You’ll know it’s ready when the cream holds its shape but is still soft.
  8. Spread the whipped cream evenly on top of the blueberry layer. This fluffy topping adds a lovely contrast in texture and is an essential part of the squares.
  9. Finally, garnish with some chopped pecans if desired. It adds a lovely crunch on top and makes it look even more appealing!
  10. Chill the squares in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows everything to set nicely. Cut into squares and enjoy!
