    Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie Instructions

    Step 1 – Blueberry Topping

    For an even easier-to-make pie, skip cooking the topping and top it with a layer of freshly washed and drained blueberries, and a dollop of whipped cream.  

    If you want to make the cooked blueberry topping like I did, here is the recipe, we make this first so it has time to cool.

    In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, water, sugar, and lemon juice.  Mix well. Once mixed add the blueberries and stir to coat.

    Cooking fresh blueberries on top of the stove into a thick and juicy topping for cream cheese pie.

    Place the pan on medium heat and cook the blueberry mixture, stirring frequently, until the mixture boils and thickens, (about 20 minutes)  

    Once thickened remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. 

    Step 2 – Graham Cracker Crust

    In a medium-sized bowl add the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt  Mix well.

    Drizzle with the melted butter.

    Mix the crumbs with a fork until evenly coated. 

    Transfer the graham cracker crust to a 9-inch pie plate, and press the crumbs evenly around the bottom of the crust first and then up the sides of the pie plate.  Cover with plastic wrap and pop in the freezer section of your fridge while we make the filling.

    Step 3 -Cream Cheese Layer Pie Filling

    In a bowl of a stand mixer, add the cold whipping cream and whip until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.  

    In a mixer bowl with a paddle attachment, add room-temperature cream cheese.  Whip on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.

    Add the icing sugar (confection sugar), lemon zest, vanilla, and salt.  Blend until incorporated.  

    Once the cream cheese mixture is finished, using a rubber spatula fold the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture.  

    Step 4 – Assembling the Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie

    Take the graham crust from the freezer, and top it with the cream cheese filling.  Spread the cream cheese filling evenly.  

    Check if the blueberry topping is cool, if not cover the pie with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until the topping is cool.  

    Once your blueberry topping is cool, spoon over the whole pie, in an even layer.  

    Once cooled spread the blueberry mixture over the pie and return to the fridge to chill wrapped in plastic wrap.
