Remove from oven & cool completely.Meanwhile, to make blueberry pie filling: Combine sugar & cornstarch together. Pour over blueberries in a small saucepan. Stir.

Add Cool Whip & whisk on high until the whisk leaves ripples in the cream cheese mixture. Keep cold until ready to assemble.To assemble: Break up the pie crust, except the stars, to make crumbs.
