Blueberry Almond Cheesecake Tunnel


The first time I made this Kristin was over and we had just gotten home from picking blueberries. Once we started putting this together I had to run to the store 2 separate times for ingredients, but it was so worth it! This is a very special coffee cake.-Sarah

6 oz. cream cheese, softened

  • For filling beat cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and beat until smooth.
