I found this recipe in Melissa's Southern Cookbook. The recipe is entitled "Granma's Famous Blueberry Icebox Pie." I made this pie for Memorial Day and it was a HUGE hit and I thought it would be perfect for the 4th. BUT, this time I thought I would make a few changes . . .
The recipe calls for 2 8 ounce packages of soft cream cheese. Well, I have a recipe from Mary Jane Toth's Cheesmaker's Journal for Farmer's Cheese which is excellent!!! Best goat's milk cheese I have ever tasted. So I made a batch of the Farmer's Cheese (using goat's milk) and used that in the recipe instead of the cream cheese. The pie was superb!!!!

2 8 oz packages of softened cream cheese (or goat's milk farmer's cheese)
1 (2.6 ounce) box Dream Whip (use both envelopes)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 18 oz blueberry pie filling
Farmer's Goat's Milk cheese - this is the BEST goat's milk cheese recipe around!!!
In a medium mixing bowl, using a mixer add the cream cheese/farmer's cheese, Dream Whip, cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and almond extracts.
Beat together for about 2 minutes.
Spoon the mixture into your pie crust and spread evenly around.
Top with the pie filling.
Put the pie in the refrigerator for about 4 hours before serving.

As I mentioned before, I made this for Memorial Day and it was a HUGE hit. So this is definitely a keeper recipe. And I think you could use almost any pie filling for the topping - strawberries, cherries, blackberries, etc. Excellent recipe!!!
UPDATE:
I made this for Labor Day, but used cherry pie filling instead of the blueberry pie filling - OMG - it was wonderful!! Not sure which one I like best. I think the cherry is the best since my husband asked me to make him another one with the cherry pie filling.
