Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I wash my blueberries and toss them in a bowl with granulated sugar. I let them sit for a bit to create a sweet blueberry syrup. As I watch the sugar dissolve, the aroma of the berries fills the kitchen, making my mouth water in anticipation. While the blueberries are getting all juicy, I whip up my cream cheese mixture. In another bow, I blend the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. The smell of sweet vanilla wafting through the air is simply delightful!
