BLUEBERRY JAMBOREE

We have the perfect Mother’s Day dessert!  You will love this Blueberry Jamboree. It’s from a delicious bakery that first opened in 1996 on a quiet street corner in the heart of New York City’s West Village.  It’s called Magnolia Bakery.  They now have one in Los Angeles close to our sister Stephanie.  She has had their delicious macaroons.  We had this blueberry jamboree at a recent family party and it was a hit.  It’s a pecan shortbread crust layered with real whipped cream and a cream cheese filling,  and topped off with a fresh blueberry topping.  Happy Mother’s Day!
