This recipe is awesome. Every time I make it, people rave about it. I make it with blackberries instead of blueberries and it is delicious.

I would make this again with alterations. This is very very rich. Substitute 1 cup of the whipping cream with 1 cup of milk. Reduce the sugar by 1/2 cup. I also would decrease the overall liquid by 1/3 cup. This took over 1 hour and 20 minutes to bake.

At nearly 900 calories a serving, this is not for the faint of heart. I know dedicated weight watchers for whom that would be nearly a day's calories. Also, it is very sweet - I know there are some for whom it would be TOO sweet.That said, This is close to being the best dessert I've ever had - even better than chocolate, and that's saying a lot! I made it with raisins - blueberries were $3.99 for a 4-ounce box so enough for the recipe would have been nearly $16.00. Later in the summer when blueberries are a bit cheaper I'll try it with blueberries - but it's REALLY good with raisins!I don't agree with those who recommended omitting the sauce. It's good without it, but the sauce is what really puts it "Over the Top."I DO agree with those who said it needs to bake a little longer than the recipe instructs. I added an extra 20 minutes and it came out firm but not hard and beautifully brown on top.I had some for breakfast this morning - well, it has eggs and fruit in it! Highly recommended!

True, this is rich but very good. I was worried when the liquid turned lavender when I mixed in the blueberries. When it baked it turned medium brown. Mine didn't look as light as in the photo. It tasted great. Had 2nd the next day warmed in microwave and it still was good like that.

This is excellent! Very rich though so I don't put the extra sauce on it because it doesn't need it. When you serve this, be sure to have copies of the recipe handy...

Delicious! This is great with or without the white chocolate sauce. I agree with other reviewers, don't skimp on a good quality white chocolate. The only thing I will do differently next time is add more blueberries.

I have made this recipe on many occasions. I have passed the recipe on to others, and everyone raves about it. It is absolutely one of my favorites. My daughter actually shared this recipe with me, and she also got rave reviews
