2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten

Cooking Directions:
- For Crust: Grease a (10-inch) pie plate.

- For Filling: Combine pudding mix, sugar, egg yolks and water in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes just to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add morsels; stir until melted. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until cool.
- Beat cream cheese in large mixer bowl until smooth. Beat in pudding mixture. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon into crust. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until filling is set.
- Spoon blueberry preserves over pie just before serving.
