It is ridiculously delicious. Almost as good as blueberry-peach pie in summertime.

That sounds delicious! I wonder if there is a non dairy alternative to the cream cheese?

There are vegan cream cheeses out there, made from soy (I've had them once or twice, and while they can't really compare they are adequate).

You could leave out the cream cheese and it would still be delicious.
