Saskatoon Delight (Blueberries) image

After you have made and enjoyed your Saskatoon pies be sure and use some of those lovely lush berries for this delightful dessert. A family member shared this recipe and it's right up there with the Saskatoon Pie when preparing a special dessert for summer guests! When time allows I prepare a home made pudding instead of the instant pudding powder. The recipe did not specify pan size, I use a large pie pan or the 9 inch spring form pan, this works well for me. Prepare the Saskatoon Filling first to assure it is cool. I sweeten my whipped cream with 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of sugar - the choice to sweeten is yours - you may even wish to add more. Dream Whip or Cool Whip may be used in place of the whipped cream - again the choice is yours. If Saskatoons are not available Blueberries may be used with equally good results.

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups graham wafer crumbs
1/2 cup margarine
1/3 cup sugar (I use a little less)
1 tablespoon flour
1 (153 g) six serving size vanilla instant pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
3 cups saskatoon berries
1 3/4-2 cups water (use just enough to cover berries)
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 cup whipping cream (making 2 cups whipped)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened to room temperature)

Steps:

  • Base, mix together Graham crumbs, margarine, sugar, flour and pat into pan.
  • Filling, beat Vanilla Pudding Mix with cold milk using a whisk or an electric beater, spread over base.
  • Saskatoon Filling, in saucepan berries and sugar, with enough water to cover the berries, simmer about 5 minutes or until berries are cooked, smooth together cornstarch and water, add stir until thickens, cool.
  • When cool spread over the pudding layer.
  • Topping.
  • In a large bowl beat the (8 ounce) package of cream cheese until smooth. In a second bowl whip the cup of whipping cream to make for two cups whipped. Blend the whipped cream into cream cheese and spread over the top of the Saskatoon layer.
  • Refrigerate.
  • Cooking time includes 30 minutes cooling time for the berry filling, which I often cool in the fridge, but be sure this mixture is cool before you spread it on the pudding layer!
