4 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, cubed

Enjoy!

Note:
*If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw.

I used 1 egg and the rest egg whites to reduce the calories. I also used some blueberry and peach non-fat yogurt because that's all I had. To reduce the calories even more, I substituted Splenda for sugar. You can also omit the glaze to make it even lighter.

That looks soooooo delicious. My husband refuses to eat blueberries though, so I probably wouldn't be able to make it or I'd have to eat the entire thing myself and then get a stomach ache. :-/
