How Many Servings Does the Recipe Make?

Can You Use a Substitute for Granulated Sugar?

Which Cream Cheese Is Best to Use?
The brand of the cream cheese used to prepare the Blueberry Cheesecake Coffee Cake is not too important. However, if you are looking for a good brand of cream cheese in general, full fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese is an excellent choice.
Can You Use Frozen Blueberries Instead of Fresh Ones?
While the recipe calls for fresh blueberries, it is safe to use frozen ones. When you plan on using frozen blueberries, be sure to put them in your fridge or on your countertop to allow them to defrost before you use them in the recipe.
Can I Use a Different Type of Fruit?
If you do not like blueberries, you absolutely can use a different type of fruit. Other fruits that will taste great with the cheesecake filling and coffee cake include sliced strawberries, raspberries, and diced pineapples. You might even want to use mixed berries as a replacement for blueberries when following this recipe.
How Do You Store It?
Make sure to store the cake in an airtight container and put it in the fridge. If you have a special cake container, use it to keep this cake fresh while it sits in the fridge.
Can You Freeze the Blueberry Cheesecake Coffee Cake?
You can freeze the Blueberry Cheesecake Coffee Cake for up to three months. If you would like to freeze it, wrap it in plastic wrap and seal it shut with tape. Cover it with a layer of aluminum foil for extra protection and then label it. Use the label to remind you of how long you have until you will need to let it thaw. When thawing it to serve it, put it in the fridge instead of leaving it out on your kitchen table.
