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.
