  Add the key lime juice, zest, and flour and beat again until mixed in thoroughly. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat gently after each one. Do not over beat but make sure the eggs are mixed in. Add green food coloring to the cheesecake mixture, if desired.

  Spread the cheesecake batter evenly over the crust in the pan. Drop 1 cup of the blueberry pie filling randomly over the top of the cheesecake. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the pie filling into the cheesecake. Do not let the knife go through to the crust. Place the pan on the oven rack right above the tray of water. Bake for 45-48 minutes. Remove immediately and place on a wire rack for one hour, and then place in the refrigerator until completely chilled. Cut into 24 squares and serve with Cool Whip, the remaining pie filling, and key lime wedges.
