Ingredients
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
How to Make Blueberry Cream Pie
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and bake according to package instructions until golden brown, usually around 10-12 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of blueberries, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently until the blueberries start to burst and release their juices.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add this to the blueberry mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Spread the creamy filling evenly over the cooled pie crust. Then, spoon the cooled blueberry mixture on top, spreading it evenly over the creamy layer.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set. Garnish with additional fresh blueberries before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier blending.
- For an extra kick, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
- Allow the pie to chill adequately for the filling to set properly.
Easy Variations
- Substitute blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a different berry flavor.
- Add a layer of lemon curd underneath the cream layer for a citrus twist.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate for added indulgence.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic combo.
- Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
- A drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra treat.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This pie is best served chilled and does not freeze well due to the cream filling.
