This is not cheesecake—it is not tangy or ‘crumbly’ like cheesecake—but it is a little cloud of creamy, blueberry-y, crunchy scrumptiousness, and that sounds mighty fine by me. And the recipe could not be easier, especially if you have a Cuisinart. (Crushing graham crackers in a bag with a rolling pin is absolutely no fun; a food processor is definitely the way to go!)

Everyone loves Blueberries, right? Blueberry muffins, blueberry smoothies, blueberry pie, blueberry jam. There is something so Willy-Wonker wonderful about the simple blueberry. Blueberries are among the highest anti-oxidant value fruits, which means thay can protect the human body against cancers, aging, degenerative diseases, and infections. They are also high in Manganese whch plays a role in bone development. Blueberries are very low in fat—one cup serving contains 80 calories and no fat, and possess notable health benefits, namely fiber and vitamin C.
