6 Tbs butter, melted

1 (12 oz) pkg reduced-fat cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup liquid egg substitute (or 2 eggs)

Preheat oven to 350° F.  Spray an eight-inch square pan with cooking spray and set aside.Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1 Tbs Splenda® and melted butter.

 

Press mixture evenly in the bottom of the baking pan to create a crust. Bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in remaining Splenda® and beat until smooth. Add egg substitute. When smooth, blend in the sour cream and vanilla. Pour this mixture over the crust. Spoon the blueberries over top and blend in several knife strokes to create a marbled effect.
