Pre-heat oven to 375°
Pam spray a 9 inch pie plate.
Place all the crust ingredients into the bowl of a food processor, tearing the bread into chunks.Pulse until well blended but do not overmix. there should be little pieces of butter & Ricotta visible.
Press the dough evenly onto the bottom & up the sides of the pie plate. Flute the edge. Prick dough all over before placing in the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a light golden brown.
Cool.
FILLING:
Place all the ingredients, except the cornstarch, in a large saucepan: bring to a boil.
Mix a little water with the cornstarch, pour into the blueberries & simmer until thickened.
Remove from heat, cool for 15 minutes; pour into cooled crust.
Chill while making the topping.
just before serving, spread the thawed Cool Whip Light over the entire pie or if just put a dollop on each serving.
Chill until ready to serve & then slice into servings.
8 servings @ 3 Points each

NOTE: the recipe might be a wee bit different than Barbo's because I had to calculate it with the ingredients I was able to buy.
