Keywords: Use fresh blueberries for optimal flavor; if using frozen, ensure they are thawed and drained. Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier mixing. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and fluffy. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to five days or freeze individual slices for up to three months.
