Directions
Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract until everything is nice and smooth. In another bowl, prepare the dry whipped topping mix with cold milk and the rest of the vanilla extract, just like the package says. Once that’s ready, fold in the cream cheese mixture until it’s all combined. Pour the filling into your pie crust and pop it in the freezer for about two hours, or until it’s firm. When you’re ready to serve, let the pie thaw for about an hour and a half. Then, add the blueberry topping on before slicing and enjoying!
