Equipment Needed

Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake Recipe Tips

For best results, use regular cream cheese, NOT whipped, low-fat or non-dairy.

Stick the cream cheese in the freezer for 20 minutes, it will be easier to cut into little cubes.

Frozen blueberries can be used instead of fresh. Keep them frozen and add them just before baking.

Raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries can be used instead of blueberries.

For some nutty flavor, add 1/2 cup of sliced almonds or chopped pecans to the topping.

Meaure The Flour Correctly

For best results, be sure to measure the flour correctly. Fluff it up some in the bag and then use a large spoon to scoop it into a dry measuring cup. Level it off with the back of a knife.

Storage

Store in the refrigerator. Will keep for 5 to 6 days in an airtight conatiner.

Can be made ahead and frozen. Thaw in the refrigerator and then warm in the microwave before serving.
