- Add vanilla and sour cream; mix.
- Add eggs; mix.
- Pour cheese filling into slightly cooled baked pie crust. Place foil around exposed crust edges.
- Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes or until filling is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Add blueberry topping once pie is cool.
Berry Topping Directions
