Happy Birthday, U.S.A.! In honor of your special day, we're baking you a pie with all your favorite colors... to say nothing of the amazing flavors!
Red White and Blueberry Cheesecake Pie
You need:
8 sheets phyllo dough
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup strawberry jelly
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
On a flat surface, place one sheet of phyllo dough; brush it with melted butter and cover with another piece sheet of phyllo; repeat until all sheets are used
Using kitchen scissors, cut layered phyllo into a 12 to 13 inch circle; carefully place circle into a greased 9-inch pie plate; gently fan edges
Bake until edges are just golden, about 6 to 8 minutes; let cool; lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in eggs until well combined; fold in 1 cup of blueberries and pour mixture into crust
Bake at 350 degrees F until set, about 40 to 50 minutes; to prevent over cooking of crust, gently cover pie with foil during last 25 minutes of baking
Allow to completely cool
In a small bowl, beat jelly until smooth; spread jelly over cheese filling
Arrange remaining 1 cup of berries in a star pattern on top
