Notes

Dry crumbs: Depending on the cookies you're using you might need to a bit more melted butter for the crust to hold together. Add 1 tbsp at a time.

Room-temperature cream cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure a smooth and creamy texture in the filling.

Gently folding: When incorporating the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, fold gently to avoid deflating the mixture and maintain a light and airy texture.

Chill time: Allow the blueberry torte to chill for the specified time to set properly and enhance the flavors.

Storage: The torte can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, it's best enjoyed fresh.
