Sounds delicious!!  Was wondering if this could be made sugar-free?

Lol Janie!

Wonderful my dear. I can't wait till blueberries are a little cheaper here. They should go down to $1.00 pretty soon, then I stock up.

Thank-you much!

Gm MamaT`  I am sure that you certainly could lose that 1/4 cup that goes into the crust as there is already coconut in there so that should make it plenty sweet~  I can only suggest cutting back or using Splenda or so other type of sugar substitute~  Cream cheese really needs some kind of a sweeter when it is used in recipes like this one~ Maybe use some brown sugar mixed with the white as I believe that the brown is not as bad for you~  I am sure that  one of the other great cooks on this Bb may have some input~  Janie

LOL  it was worth the wait   :)   Hopefully I'll come home with a lot of blueberries today!   :)


Waving to all  :)

  It's ibuprofen time~   The arthritis in the joins is really getting worse and all of the weeding I do doesn't help~  Rosie, How's you garden coming?  I have 3 green peppers and 1 tiney, tiny eggplant starting~ 

Here is a picture of the Coconut Blueberry Cheesecake Bars if anyone would want to see how yummy they look.

Nancy, Thank you so "Very Very" much for the photo~  One of these days I will learn this process~   I know that once you get the idea, it will go very quickly and in no time you will be a pro~   ~   Janie
