OOPS! I put my question under reviews. Very sorry! My question is the same as Christine G's. If you only use 1/2 of the blueberry sauce on top of the cheesecake, and then add whole blueberries on the top after baking, what is the other 1/2 of the blueberry sauce used for? -
What do you do with the other half of the blueberry sauce? Thanks, Christine

I made this for a Super Bowl party. Doubled the recipe, used a whole package of the lemon Oreo thins and all the blueberry sauce. They were the best thing at the party! My son asked for this recipe as his birthday cake this year. -
