    Many thanks to Brenda Tsavatewa and her son Chris for sharing their family recipe, which I've slightly modified below.
    **RECIPE**
    1 lb (453g) cream cheese
    22 oz (1.2kg) canned blueberry pie filling (or homemade recipe, see below)
    2 cups (1 pint, 473mL) cream
    3 cups (250g) graham cracker crumbs (about 20 of the big rectangular crackers)
    1 + 1/4 cups (200 + 50g) granulated sugar, divided
    1 1/2 sticks (6 oz, 170g) butter
    1/4 cup (40g) powdered sugar
    fresh blueberries or other fresh fruit for garnish (optional)
    Leave out your cream cheese at room temperature to soften - if you forget to to this, you can unwrap it and microwave it on very low power until just soft.
    Melt your butter and stir it thoroughly into the cracker crumbs along with 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar. Scoop out about 1/3 cup (50g, I dunno?) of the mixture and set it aside. Dump the rest into any wide, flat dish - Brenda uses a 9x13 inch (23x33cm) glass baking dish - and pat it down firmly into the bottom and sides. Chill this firm while you get everything else ready.
    Beat a cup (200g) of granulated sugar into the softened cream cheese until just smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the cream and powdered sugar and beat until you get soft peaks (this is easier if the cream is cold). Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream and then beat it just enough until smooth - excess beating will deflate the cream.
    Get the chilled crust out, drop in half of the dairy mixture in dollops and spread it to a smooth layer. Dump in the blueberry pie filling and spread it smooth. Dump on the rest of the dairy mixture in dollops and spread smooth (watch the video for Brenda's drop-and-roll technique). Sprinkle the top with the reserved crumb mixture and garnish with fresh berries. Chill firm before you eat it.
    **HOMEMADE PIE FILLING**
    3 pints (about a kilo) fresh blueberries
    1 cup (200g) sugar
    1/4-1/2 cup (30-60g) cornstarch, depending on how thick you want it
    water
    fresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
    optional spices (cloves, cinnamon and other Christmassy spices are nice)
    Combine the berries and sugar in a pot over high heat. You can just stir them until the berries start to break down, but you can accelerate the process by mashing them up a bit yourself. Boil until the berries have started to break apart but you still have very big chunks.
    Dissolve the cornstarch into a smooth slurry with as little water as possible and drizzle it into the boiling berries, stirring constantly. If you want it more acidic, stir in citrus juice to taste, along with maybe a pinch of salt and any spices you like. Chill before using.

    We have a version of this in my country called “monchou pie”, where monchou is a specific brand of cream cheese. Instead of graham crackers and blue berries, it’s with bastogne cookies, a spiced brown sugar cookie, and cherry pie filling. If you can get Bastogne cookies where you live highly recommend trying them in this recipe

    man, i really love the reverence you give to older, more rustic recipes. lots of chefs would brush off brenda's recipe because it uses prepared ingredients, but your acknowledgment that prepared ingredients are a crucial part of traditional southern recipes is honestly so important. sure, as a treat, there's merit in desiring food experiences that only come from the purest of origins, but to close yourself off from the goodness that is the ingenious combinations of pre-prepared foods that compromises so many southern cuisines (blueberry yum yum, mississippi pot roast, ro-tel chile dip, etc) is to completely limit yourself from and entire world of incredible flavor.

      One quote from my mom "I have made enough pie crusts from scratch to just use frozen Pillsbury crusts, they turn out better anyway."
      I'm 100% sure that a crust made from scratch can be made to taste way better, but just buying some things can save alot of time. Some food youtubers make my eyes roll when they make it sound like buying buns or ice cream is a culinary failure on your part.
      One of my favorite pie recipes was to to make canned filling so you harvest and pit the cherries and freeze for later, then take frozen cherries and make the pie filling as a canned good, and whenever you want chery pie you just dump 1 jar into a crust and bake. Sadly my parents cherry tree died. (It was near the road and winter salt + age + fungus was slowly killing it as it lost 1 branch/trunk per storm.)

    Growing up in rural east Tennessee and southwest Virginia, this was a staple at every church social (we called them 'fellowship dinners'). At my church, the lady that made it just called it "blueberry stuff." She'd also occasionally make variations she called "strawberry stuff" or "chocolate stuff" depending on her mood.

    Adam, you do a *very good* job on this channel. I’m a fellow Pennsylvanian, and as an academic myself I’m really impressed by your empathy and understanding for the working class south. Your acknowledgment of certain issues in past videos makes clear ~some~ components of your political beliefs, if by nothing other than acknowledgement that a problem exists. I want to give you credit that despite potential differences, you give voice to people who often get written off by the chronically-online, and you present them in a positive light. That’s an incredible feat and a testament to your consideration of your impact as a journalist and (sorry) influencer.
