Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup salted butter
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh or frozen huckleberries
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar (for berries)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the dough resembles crumbs. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch square pan to form the crust.

Step 3

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract, and beat until fluffy and well combined.

Step 5

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled crust. Refrigerate while preparing the huckleberry topping.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, combine the huckleberries, granulated sugar (for berries), cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Allow the topping to cool fully.

Step 7

Once the huckleberry topping is cooled, spread it evenly over the cream cheese filling.

Step 8

Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2-3 hours or until set.

Step 9

Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the tangy and creamy delight of huckleberries!
