To us Idahoans, huckleberries are a treasure. My family enjoys this recipe a lot, and I serve it as a special treat when we have guests. —Pat Kuper, McCall, Idaho

Ingredients

BUTTER CRUNCH CRUST:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
1/2 cup cold butter
CHEESE FILLING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream or 1 cup whipped topping
FRUIT TOPPING:
1/2 cup sugar
4-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
Dash salt
1/2 cup water
2 cups fresh huckleberries or blueberries, divided
1-1/2 teaspoons butter
Additional whipped cream, optional

Directions

In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and nuts. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spread on baking sheet; bake at 400° for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from oven. While mixture is still hot, press into a 9-in. pie plate, forming a pie shell. Cool completely.
For cheese filling, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth; gently fold in whipped cream. Pour or spoon filling into cooled crust; refrigerate.
For topping, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in saucepan. Stir in water until smooth; add 1 cup berries. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Add butter and remaining berries. Cool; pour over cheese filling. Top with additional whipped cream if desired.
