So, it takes three easy steps to make this Blueberry Shortcake with Cream Topping? It’s worth it!
Usually, I’m a “mix it together and throw it into the oven” kind of treat maker. But in the case of this case, we are making an exception and writing a recipe that takes three steps. THREE. What in the world?
Don’t worry. This is still an easy recipe. I’ll write it all out in the simplest of forms. And you really will see that it’s worth every bit of “effort!”

Just wondering how I could make the cream part dairy free. I’m very sensitive to dairy but would love to try this! Any alternatives to cream cheese? Thanks!
I am dairy free as well. The closest things I have found to the “real deal” are kitehill brand almond milk cream cheese (plain) and cocowhip (it’s like a tub of cool whip that is frozen). Mix these two in place of cream cheese and heavy cream- sooo good!
