Blueberries and Cream Pie With No Roll Pie Crust

I must admit I was a bit hesitant about the no roll crust but, much to my delight, it came out great! Also, the filling is lovely, and the lack of a top crust allows you to thoroughly enjoy the flavorful berries. Also, this pie is not too sweet and relies on the berries for its wonderful taste. This one goes in the permanent recipe box!
