Ingredients

• 7 graham cracker squares 

• 2 cups fresh blueberries

• 1 can (14 ounces) fat-free sweetened condensed milk
• 
½ cup lime juice

Blueberry-Pineapple Salsa


• 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries

• 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
• 
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
• 
2 tablespoons lime juice

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

1. Lightly oil a 9-inch square pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with graham crackers in a single layer, breaking pieces to fit.
2. In blender, puree blueberries, cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth; add lime juice and zest; blend well.
3. Spoon blueberry mixture onto graham crackers and spread evenly.
4. Cover and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
5. For the salsa, in a bowl, toss together blueberries, pineapple, mint, lime juice and brown sugar. Cover and chill until serving time.

To serve, remove from freezer and leave at room temperature until edges soften, about 10 minutes. Cut into 9 squares; serve on dessert plates with Blueberry-Pineapple Salsa. Return any unused squares to the pan, cover tightly and freeze.
