I love this! I did twist it a bit to make it easier. I used a graham cracker crust (ready made) and it was a big hit with my family! Thanks Cynthia!

This recipe is absolutely fantastic! Made it and everyone loved it! The filling is sooo good that you really don't need a crust! Will definitely make this again. Thanks so much!

Great Dessert and easy to make. I would add some suggestions for the topping only. I would add 4 tbsp of cornstarch to a 1/4 cup water and 1/2 sugar. Stir constantly until mixture boils. then add in 4 cups of blueberries and the rest of the sugar and bring the mixture to a boil and so it thickens. If it does not thicken add more cornstarch as needed. When I made this my blueberries were frozen so I needed to add more cornstarch to get a thicken top layer.

This recipe is one of our favorites! When we are in a hurry, we use canned blueberry pie filling. Delicious!

Wow! This dessert is delicious. Perfect combination of textures and flavors. My pecans were coarsely chopped and the dough did not cover the entire bottom of my 9x13 pan but that was not a problem as there was no sticking and every bite contained crust.

I got rave reviews at a church potluck I took this too. I made it the exact recipe way and then a low fat, low sugar version for home. Both were very good!

This was delicious! The homemade blueberry topping was very easy to make and sure beats the canned topping. I followed the recipe exactly, but put about 5 more minutes on the timer for baking the crust.

I added more cornstarch to the fresh blueberries and nutmeg and grated lemon zest while cooking berries.
