in a pie tin would work too.<\/p>\n<p>While the crust is in the oven prepare the filling by stirring together the yogurt and the whipped topping in a large bowl. \u00a0Cover the filling and set it in the refrigerator while you wait for the crust to finish baking and cool to room temperature. \u00a0Once the crust is cool, spread the filling in an even layer and top with blueberries.<\/p>\n<p
