We have a version of this in my country called “monchou pie”, where monchou is a specific brand of cream cheese. Instead of graham crackers and blue berries, it’s with bastogne cookies, a spiced brown sugar cookie, and cherry pie filling. If you can get Bastogne cookies where you live highly recommend trying them in this recipe
I looked up Bastogne and it seems they are a speculaas(sp?) type cookie. Trader Joe’s sells these for a relatively affordable price here, although I’m sure they are not as good as actual Dutch biscuits. I love canned cherry so I will definitely be making monchou pie!
I appreciate the respectful "Brenda's house, Brenda's rules." In my family, this is called Blueberry Dream Dessert (recipe from the Dream Whip box, I'm sure), has a baked crust that includes chopped pecans, and tastes like holidays with my cousins.

Really loved this video. The commentary by Brenda at the end about how her economic situation shaped her family's relationship to the food was especially interesting. Would love to see you do a dive on the "politics" of similar foods like frybread or even government cheese.
Fry bread is THE poverty food. The history surrounding it is just sad. Many native Americans actually reject it as a Native American dish because of the implications of why they had to make it, oppression and colonialism.
me too, my grandma used to make this dessert for me and my sis whenever we would come over, before her arthritis rendered her hands practically immovable. she died at 91 last year, just a couple weeks before our birthday.
Then rich people realize how good it is, buy it up, and gentrify it. Quinoa farmers in South America literally can't afford the staple food they've grown and eaten for thousands of years.
My daughter when she was about 7 or 8 said to me: poor people are smarter than rich people. I asked her why she thought that and she pointed out that they have to figure out how to survive on so much less.
man, i really love the reverence you give to older, more rustic recipes. lots of chefs would brush off brenda's recipe because it uses prepared ingredients, but your acknowledgment that prepared ingredients are a crucial part of traditional southern recipes is honestly so important. sure, as a treat, there's merit in desiring food experiences that only come from the purest of origins, but to close yourself off from the goodness that is the ingenious combinations of pre-prepared foods that compromises so many southern cuisines (blueberry yum yum, mississippi pot roast, ro-tel chile dip, etc) is to completely limit yourself from and entire world of incredible flavor.
One quote from my mom "I have made enough pie crusts from scratch to just use frozen Pillsbury crusts, they turn out better anyway." I'm 100% sure that a crust made from scratch can be made to taste way better, but just buying some things can save alot of time. Some food youtubers make my eyes roll when they make it sound like buying buns or ice cream is a culinary failure on your part. One of my favorite pie recipes was to to make canned filling so you harvest and pit the cherries and freeze for later, then take frozen cherries and make the pie filling as a canned good, and whenever you want chery pie you just dump 1 jar into a crust and bake. Sadly my parents cherry tree died. (It was near the road and winter salt + age + fungus was slowly killing it as it lost 1 branch/trunk per storm.)
One of my favorite things about Adam's videos is hearing Southern accents in a positive, non-stereotyped context. Surprisingly rare in popular US media!
I don’t really understand people who don’t like certain accents like southern accents, because I literally don’t even notice when somebody has a southern accent half the time, honestly.
And the boxes of generic raisin bran. No art, just a plain cardboard box with the words "Raisin Bran" printed on it in black letters. And who can forget the-- _huzz--_ powdered milk? Boy, a bowl of generic raisin bran with a bit of overripe banana cut up into it and some watered down powdered milk... good eatin.
I grew up in a small farming community around a lot of people who really had to scrape to make ends meet. You washed and dried your plastic bags, used ancient Miracle Whip or gallon jug ice cream containers for storage, hunted and used EVERY part of the deer to stretch food out for the year, and made giant inexpensive desserts like this that could feed a whole extended family. Brings back memories. A favorite of mine is still shoo-fly cake and pie, made with molasses.
Really liked this video style. Seeing a super classic/homestyle dessert by someone in their own home, but with the higher quality video is a great combo. Would love to see more of these.
Adam, you do a *very good* job on this channel. I’m a fellow Pennsylvanian, and as an academic myself I’m really impressed by your empathy and understanding for the working class south. Your acknowledgment of certain issues in past videos makes clear ~some~ components of your political beliefs, if by nothing other than acknowledgement that a problem exists.

That’s an incredible feat and a testament to your consideration of your impact as a journalist and (sorry) influencer.
@@LaNoir. I don't care about swallowing it, what I care about is suddenly biting down on something really hard like that. Feels like it could break a tooth
Growing up in rural east Tennessee and southwest Virginia, this was a staple at every church social (we called them 'fellowship dinners'). At my church, the lady that made it just called it "blueberry stuff." She'd also occasionally make variations she called "strawberry stuff" or "chocolate stuff" depending on her mood. That last one used boxed chocolate pudding instead of fruit. Good stuff.
It's always very heartening to hear people speak about their resourcefulness in hard times, and their nostalgia for the times in which they thrived when the universe was telling them they weren't allowed.

That was adorable. This might sound like a backhanded compliment, but I mean it: I'm glad not ALL food media is like Adam Ragusea, but I am so glad that SOMEONE is making this style of video. It's different, it's human, it's at once thoroughly in-depth and approachable. Thank you so much for bringing this type of content to us!
It's kinda crazy that even after two years since I first saw your broiled cookies video, I end up drooling every time I watch one of your videos. I'm definitely going to make this recipe when I go to college in a few months!
I grew up with little as well, This reminds of my mom used to make. She'd lay petit beurre crackers (the cheap kind) as layers and fill them with a cream made of milk, flower, sugar and margarine; sometimes we'd add cocoa if we could. This video carried the same warmth and care as my mommy.
@@phillipwalk3r it’s not good practice to record video of other folks’ kids (or your own) and upload them online because they have a right to privacy and safety.
Legit had NOOOOOO idea what this dish was called. I always loved this as a kid. Grandma also used to use cherry pie filling for July 4th. Such a good summer desert
This is what cooking with love looks like. Using what is at hand to make something greater than the sum of its parts to make the people you love happy. Sorry to get so sappy but I needed to see this today
just made it and it tastes so good 😌 though I found myself with a little too much blueberry filling because I prefer it more watery! I guess I should’ve adjusted it beforehand also just a tip: if you are working in a warm kitchen remember to put your bowl and whipping cream in the freezer for a while beforehand if not the cream won’t whip up well thanks for the recipe!
I made it too. On one half I used the canned filling and the other half the homemade just to see. Honestly, the canned tasted better me (but I have a raging sweet tooth)
Kerrygold.. i tried this butter one time and never went back. Its the best butter ever! You know what i mean.. the best butter available in any grocery store. Fresh homemade is the best lol
It’s funny, my grandmother makes something VERY similar to this for the holidays, she uses pre made graham cracker pie crust and uses gelatin to firm the whip/cream cheese mix, and tops it off with either Blueberry pie filling or Cherry pie filling, she always called it CheesePie. Never new people referred to this as Blueberry Yumyum. I look forward to this every holiday season. I love my Abuelita.
This reminds me of the no-bake cheesecakes my mom used to make on my birthdays. My birthday was the day before school started at the end of summer, usually a real scorcher. We couldn't afford an ice cream cake like the other summer birthday kids but my mom sure knew how to whip up a graham cracker crust, a few blocks of store brand cream cheese, and a container of Cool-Whip into something special.
I appreciate when people don't judge the use of processed or canned foods. I was raised by a single mother on foodstamps and it's often the only thing you have time or money for. It's not gourmet by any means, but you can still be creative and whip together something good.
I imagine you could substitute the blueberries for some other fruit filling or fruit jam and it would taste just as good! Ooh wait I have some orange marmalade a friend made and gave to me. Might be a little sweet with the marmalade but I can add less sugar to the whipped cream bit!
If you gave this to Joshua Weissman he would turn his nose up at it, and then chastise you for not making homemade graham crackers from scratch to crush up and for using philadelphia cream cheese instead of a higher quality cheese. He would also breakout about 4 pieces of heavy and expensive equipment to use. Thanks for keeping it easy and down to earth Adam! I can make this tonight.
This is very similar to a UK cheesecake! My Mum used to make this when i was young. We use a Digestive Biscuit crumb base with butter but no sugar, and a can of black cherries instead of blueberries! Noice!
One small thing to elevate the crust. Brown the butter. With the graham cracker crumbs, browning the butter adds a whole new dimension which is more than the sum of it's parts. Also, the possibilities are endless with other pie fillings! (Sorry, I'm from central PA, though I did live in the south for a few years)
My favorite blueberry jam recipe has only 3 ingredients: blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blueberries are pretty high in pectin, and the lemon juice helps the pectin set up. So with your homemade sauce, the lemon juice may have weakend the cornstarch somewhat, but it probably also strengthened the blueberry pectin's natural thickening properties.
"This is a recipe for people in real world" THIS cus most of these food youtubers nowadays dont realised real people gotta work 12 hours a day while being underpaid and expects them to make their homemade parmesan like??

Love this . This is great. You don’t often see this kind of food represented on other channels. Love the blend of history and culture that you put in each of your videos.
I have a lot of friends who try to write Adam off as a pretentious youtube cook, and they won't watch him. I'll admit that I felt that way at first...but He always thinks about his food privilege and considers what food means to all levels of people. There is a lot classism in the "foodie" community with many being particularly hateful toward dishes like these. There are groups dedicated to trashing crockpot and casserole meals, for instance. That always hurts as someone who both loves food and grew up poor in the south. Adam is a treasure for always going into recipes and histories like these kindly without an ounce of disrespect. That's how he won me over as a fan, and I hope that the people who watch him who don't have experience with "poor food" can learn to appreciate and respect it.
@@tobiasglendenning7966 I love those! I didn't actually know they were a thing English people ate until I was like 8, my Polish mum used to always give me them for school, now I want one
I make a recipe very similar to this. Sometimes I do the homemade crust, but often times I use the ready crust in a disposable pan. This allows me to make 4-6 pies, that we give away during the holidays.
This might sound weird but can you do a video of how to properly/scientifically clean after cooking/eating? How to wash dishes, basically. Should you soak? should you rinse/drain your sponge with cold water? When should you use an iron sponge? Do you have to use soap if there's only cookie crumbs on the plate? Etc.
After enjoying some proper Southern pies I bought a Southern cuisine cookbook and it was full of recipes like this one, relying on prepackaged stuff you can't find outside the US.

If a strain of weed is named after some sort of food, you know it's delicious.
Examples: birthday cake, girl scout cookies, blueberry yum yum.
I want some of that strain
@@BlackKnightsCommander what do the Northern Lights taste like?
@@thomaswhite3059 they taste like ozone
Luda!
That was adorable.
This might sound like a backhanded compliment, but I mean it: I'm glad not ALL food media is like Adam Ragusea, but I am so glad that SOMEONE is making this style of video. It's different, it's human, it's at once thoroughly in-depth and approachable. Thank you so much for bringing this type of content to us!
It's kinda crazy that even after two years since I first saw your broiled cookies video, I end up drooling every time I watch one of your videos. I'm definitely going to make this recipe when I go to college in a few months!
I grew up with little as well, This reminds of my mom used to make. She'd lay petit beurre crackers (the cheap kind) as layers and fill them with a cream made of milk, flower, sugar and margarine; sometimes we'd add cocoa if we could. This video carried the same warmth and care as my mommy.
07:26 i love how he's very cleverly censoring the kid's face
It was so considerate!
kid: damn I wanted to be a youtube star!!!
Why do you censor kids' faces? I show my face on my channel, is it illegal or smt?
@@phillipwalk3r it’s not good practice to record video of other folks’ kids (or your own) and upload them online because they have a right to privacy and safety.
@@wt4629 Ok
Just made with but with cherry pie filling and it’s chilling in the fridge. I’m excited
this is the exact recipe that my mom makes and she calls it a "greek cheesecake" awesome !
Did you know cheesecakes were invented in Greece?
I don't know why but that lady just makes me want to smile. She seems like such a sweet soul
Legit had NOOOOOO idea what this dish was called. I always loved this as a kid. Grandma also used to use cherry pie filling for July 4th. Such a good summer desert
Love this! Brings back memories from my time as an exchange student in a wonderful family in Pennsylvania long ago. Love American family cooking.
"no-bake cheesecake", as listed on almost every lid of coolwhip.
blueberry yum yum
Never looked. Didn't see it.
@Danielle Anderson Yes, you can, there are plenty of unbaked icebox cakes.
The idea of baking a cheesecake feels fundamentally wrong to me ngl
@Danielle Anderson and I'm saying categorically you're wrong for arbitrarily deciding a cake must be baked.
Adam, you are the only youtuber whos sponsor ads i do not skip because you put your time into making them special. Kudos.
1:36
I swear Adam picks up more and more of a Southern twang every single video he makes.
"Its jest goin' in the frihdge"
That's a purdy dessert you've got there boy
@Tom S. Tea I don't believe he did, although I'm excited to see if that happens in the future 😂
This is what cooking with love looks like. Using what is at hand to make something greater than the sum of its parts to make the people you love happy. Sorry to get so sappy but I needed to see this today
5:00 "Look at the tiny cucumber!"
I will never ever in my life un-sub to Adam Ragusea.
It's lovely to hear a real family recounting real memories. It was just real life and that real life created recipes.
just made it and it tastes so good 😌
though I found myself with a little too much blueberry filling because I prefer it more watery! I guess I should’ve adjusted it beforehand
also just a tip: if you are working in a warm kitchen remember to put your bowl and whipping cream in the freezer for a while beforehand if not the cream won’t whip up well
thanks for the recipe!
I made it too. On one half I used the canned filling and the other half the homemade just to see. Honestly, the canned tasted better me (but I have a raging sweet tooth)
Kerrygold.. i tried this butter one time and never went back. Its the best butter ever! You know what i mean.. the best butter available in any grocery store. Fresh homemade is the best lol
yum yum is yummy yummy!
Holy crap Toast you’re here too? Dang Adam’s audience really does amass all types of people

It’s funny, my grandmother makes something VERY similar to this for the holidays, she uses pre made graham cracker pie crust and uses gelatin to firm the whip/cream cheese mix, and tops it off with either Blueberry pie filling or Cherry pie filling, she always called it CheesePie. Never new people referred to this as Blueberry Yumyum. I look forward to this every holiday season. I love my Abuelita.
This reminds me of the no-bake cheesecakes my mom used to make on my birthdays. My birthday was the day before school started at the end of summer, usually a real scorcher. We couldn't afford an ice cream cake like the other summer birthday kids but my mom sure knew how to whip up a graham cracker crust, a few blocks of store brand cream cheese, and a container of Cool-Whip into something special.
I appreciate when people don't judge the use of processed or canned foods. I was raised by a single mother on foodstamps and it's often the only thing you have time or money for. It's not gourmet by any means, but you can still be creative and whip together something good.
I imagine you could substitute the blueberries for some other fruit filling or fruit jam and it would taste just as good! Ooh wait I have some orange marmalade a friend made and gave to me. Might be a little sweet with the marmalade but I can add less sugar to the whipped cream bit!
If you gave this to Joshua Weissman he would turn his nose up at it, and then chastise you for not making homemade graham crackers from scratch to crush up and for using philadelphia cream cheese instead of a higher quality cheese. He would also breakout about 4 pieces of heavy and expensive equipment to use.
Thanks for keeping it easy and down to earth Adam! I can make this tonight.
This is very similar to a UK cheesecake! My Mum used to make this when i was young. We use a Digestive Biscuit crumb base with butter but no sugar, and a can of black cherries instead of blueberries! Noice!
Sounds positively delicious. Cherries are probably my favourite fruit for pastries and the like.
One small thing to elevate the crust. Brown the butter. With the graham cracker crumbs, browning the butter adds a whole new dimension which is more than the sum of it's parts. Also, the possibilities are endless with other pie fillings! (Sorry, I'm from central PA, though I did live in the south for a few years)
My favorite blueberry jam recipe has only 3 ingredients: blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blueberries are pretty high in pectin, and the lemon juice helps the pectin set up. So with your homemade sauce, the lemon juice may have weakend the cornstarch somewhat, but it probably also strengthened the blueberry pectin's natural thickening properties.
I love how respectful you are with other people's recipes. Also Blueberry yum yum is one of my favorites
"Damn right, yum yum."
-AR
I love that you have the recipe in the description, and so considerate adding both types of measurement. Thank you very much!
"This is a recipe for people in real world" THIS cus most of these food youtubers nowadays dont realised real people gotta work 12 hours a day while being underpaid and expects them to make their homemade parmesan like??
We need more of this tbh. I've basically entirely stopped watching babish for that reason
@@Jepysauce fair point but mainly babish does have alternates and many times states, that it isn’t worth the effort, unlike some other nameless food TH-camrs(cough, Joshua Weissman) who actually expect people to make an incredibly fancy and overcomplicated recipe
@@Jepysauce to be fair, babish only really does the really fancy stuff on the binging with babish segments and doesn't expect his audience to actually try out the recipes irl, his basics with babish series however is a lot more forgiving in terms of how easily you can make it at home. that's unlike a certain someone *cough cough* joshua weissman *cough cough*
@@Jepysauce Babish makes food from cartoons and tv shows for entertainment, not as a tutorial
@@Jepysauce babish is mostly for entertainment though
In my family we have always made the same thing only with instant chocolate pudding instead of blueberry. Love these quick weeknight deserts
Thank you for sharing your platform with other cooks
Also thank you for obscuring her son's face! More creators need to take into account predators online, not to mention the fact that these children are thrust into the spotlight before they even know what that entails
I really respect how he does that with his own children as well
@@lcardwell640 Same!
Love this . This is great. You don’t often see this kind of food represented on other channels. Love the blend of history and culture that you put in each of your videos.
I just tried a lil' bit of blueberry yum yum, and I never would of thought that it could taste this goooood
I'm a southern boy born and raised and this is the first i've heard of blueberry yum yum. I have to make this now.
A wise Luda once said..
"Thank God to the man who put it in my hood"
A cultured man right here 👌🏾👌🏾😁
Glad Im not the only thinking that
I have a lot of friends who try to write Adam off as a pretentious youtube cook, and they won't watch him. I'll admit that I felt that way at first...but He always thinks about his food privilege and considers what food means to all levels of people. There is a lot classism in the "foodie" community with many being particularly hateful toward dishes like these. There are groups dedicated to trashing crockpot and casserole meals, for instance. That always hurts as someone who both loves food and grew up poor in the south.
Adam is a treasure for always going into recipes and histories like these kindly without an ounce of disrespect. That's how he won me over as a fan, and I hope that the people who watch him who don't have experience with "poor food" can learn to appreciate and respect it.
My Filipino grandma makes something similar but with mangoes, definitely gonna try this
Naruworld. That sounds absolutely delicious. I LOVE ❤️ mangoes
Crushed oreos on top
Mango graham cakes ftw!
She's so lovely. Grammys really are a treasure. This gives me a sinpler version of a blueberry cheesecake
You know, here in Thailand, YumYum is a brand of instant noodles so that title scared the [beep] out of me as a university student.
Here in Europe its a twisted doughnut covered in sugar
LOL! A blueberry-flavored instant noodle might be an interestingly weird combination :D
@@tobiasglendenning7966 I love those! I didn't actually know they were a thing English people ate until I was like 8, my Polish mum used to always give me them for school, now I want one
@@tobiasglendenning7966 Oh I had one of those, didn't know they were called that.
lol!
I make a recipe very similar to this. Sometimes I do the homemade crust, but often times I use the ready crust in a disposable pan. This allows me to make 4-6 pies, that we give away during the holidays.
I made this and holy crap it was good.
Man this is so sweet. Rural America certainly has heck of a charm
Who named this dessert?
If I were to quote to Ryan George...
“That’ll be like me calling strawberry “red yum yum very good””
Total poetry!
hey this is the thing from the other thing!
my grandma passed away yesterday so this is quite touching to see :') some of my earliest memories are us in the kitchen cooking. Thank you adam :)
F
Always love watching these!
Beyond wholesome cooking with Adam
This might sound weird but can you do a video of how to properly/scientifically clean after cooking/eating? How to wash dishes, basically. Should you soak? should you rinse/drain your sponge with cold water? When should you use an iron sponge? Do you have to use soap if there's only cookie crumbs on the plate? Etc.
Internet Shaquille has the video you're looking for.
After enjoying some proper Southern pies I bought a Southern cuisine cookbook and it was full of recipes like this one, relying on prepackaged stuff you can't find outside the US.
