Preparation

Step 1

Crust:
Combine wafer crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press into a 9x13" pan and bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Allow to cool.

Filling:
Put 1/2 cup cold water into a small bowl. Sprinkle both packets of gelatin powder over top and leave for one minute. Add 1/2 cup boiling water and stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Set aside.
Place yogurt and sour cream into a large bowl. Add gelatin and whisk all together until combined. Beat whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff. Fold into yogurt mixture with the blueberries. Pour over crust. Refrigerate until set.

To serve, slice into squares and garnish each square with a sprinkle of graham crumbs and a few blueberries. You can also garnish with edible flowers, as in the photo. Enjoy! For step-by-step instructions with photos, visit my blog Apron Strings and Tasty Things at www.foodandfact.com
