Crust
- Unsalted butter

How to make Blueberry Jamboree:
- In a large pan combine 1 1/2 cups blueberries, sugar, and brown sugar. Cook over medium-high heat and stir constantly. Stir until sugar is combined and blueberries start to pop and come to a boil.
- Dissolve cornstarch in water. Add the cornstarch slurry in the pan with the blueberries and stir until the mixture becomes thick to create the blueberry sauce.
- After it has thickened, remove from heat and add the remaining 2 cups of the blueberries, then add in the tsp lemon zest to the large pot, combine by stirring in gently.
- Cool to room temp or refrigerate until ready to use.
- Grease a 9×13 inch glass pan or baking dish. For the crust, melt the butter and stir in the flour and pecans.
- Press crust evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Cook at 325 for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Then let crust cool to room temperature.
- For the filling, whip the heavy cream and set aside.
- In separate mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Then add the whipped cream in with the cream cheese mixture and combine. Then spread over the cooled crust.
- Spread the blueberry topping over all. Let set in the fridge for about an hour.
Yes, if you do not have the simple ingredients to make the pecan crust, then you can always substitute it for a graham cracker crust with melted butter instead of having a nutty crust.
By adding the cornstarch to the blueberry mixture it is are able to create similar to a homemade blueberry jam taste, but have it set up like you would like for a delicious blueberry pie.
It most definitely can. If you have plenty of blueberry desserts you already make, feel free to use your favorite fruit and replace the blueberries with it!
