Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
- Firmly press this mixture into a 9-inch deep pie dish to form the crust. Chill while making the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until combined.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- In a saucepan, combine 2 cups blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and the cornstarch mixture. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring frequently.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring the blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours or until set. Slice and serve cool.
Notes
Using fresh blueberries enhances the flavor, but frozen can be used as a substitute.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing to avoid lumps in the filling.
Allowing the pie to chill properly is essential for achieving the right consistency.
