Ingredients
Instructions
- Set the cream cheese out of refrigerator for about 4 hours to soften.
- Mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip Dream Whip with milk and vanilla until thick.
- Combine the powdered sugar mixture with the Dream Whip mixture and whip until thick.
- Spread one-third of the mixture over the graham cracker crust.

- Add the remaining mixture on top of the pie filling.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 3 hours or overnight to chill.
- Before serving, sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the top for decoration.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using low-fat cream cheese and substituting the powdered sugar with a sugar substitute. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smoother texture. You can also use homemade whipped cream instead of Dream Whip for a fresher taste. If you prefer a different fruit, swap the Comstock pie filling with fresh berries or another fruit filling of your choice.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Blueberry Dream Tarts chilled as a refreshing dessert at summer gatherings or family dinners. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side. Consider serving with a light fruit salad or alongside Nina'S Strawberry Pie for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Blueberry Dream Tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The crust may become softer over time, so it's best enjoyed fresh. If you need to reheat, serve chilled; the tart is not designed to be served warm and maintains its best flavor when cold.
