Blintz Soufflé with Blueberry Sauce (Dairy, Tried 'N True)
Serves: 8

Filling Ingredients:

• 1 8-oz. package cream cheese
• 1 pint ricotta cheese
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Blintz Batter Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1-1/2 cups plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup orange juice

Blueberry Sauce:

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp. flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, optional

In small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add Ricotta cheese, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. In third bowl, mix flour and baking powder. Add to egg mixture alternately with yogurt and orange juice. Stir only until moistened.

Pour half of batter into a buttered 9x13" glass baking pan. Spread cream cheese filling evenly over batter. Filling will be thick. Cover with remaining batter.

Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until done and slightly golden on top. Slice into 8 serving portions.

In a saucepan, combine sugar, flour, water, salt, and lemon juice. Cook until mixture thickens slightly.

Add the blueberries and cook over moderate heat, stirring for one minute.

Remove from heat, add butter, and stir until melted. Add cinnamon (if desired) and stir. Spoon sauce over each portion.
