Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie Instructions

Step 1 – Blueberry Topping

For an even easier pie, you can skip cooking the topping and simply top it with freshly washed and drained blueberries and a dollop of whipped cream.

If you would like to make the cooked blueberry topping like I did, we make it first so it has time to cool.

In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, water, sugar, and lemon juice, and mix well. Add the blueberries and stir gently to coat.

Place the pan over medium heat and cook the blueberry mixture, stirring frequently, until it boils and thickens, about 20 minutes.

Once thickened, remove from the heat and let the blueberry topping cool to room temperature.

Step 2 – Graham Cracker Crust

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

Cover the crust with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

Step 3 -Cream Cheese Pie Filling

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

In the mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the room temperature cream cheese on medium high speed until light and fluffy.

Add the icing sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.

Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture just until combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie

Remove the graham cracker crust from the freezer and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust.

Check that the blueberry topping has cooled completely. If it is still warm, cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator until the topping is cool.

Once cooled, spoon the blueberry topping evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours, so the pie sets properly and slices cleanly.
