Directions

In a large bowl, I beat the cream cheese until smooth.
I mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
I gently fold in the whipped topping until the filling becomes light and creamy.
I spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the prepared crust.
In a saucepan, I cook the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water until the mixture thickens.
I let the blueberry topping cool slightly before spooning it over the cream cheese layer.
I refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.

Variations

I sometimes use a vanilla wafer crust instead of graham crackers for a sweeter flavor. When I want extra freshness, I add lemon zest to the filling. I also enjoy mixing strawberries or raspberries into the blueberry topping for a mixed berry version. For a richer dessert, I drizzle white chocolate over the top before serving.

storage/reheating

I store Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie covered in the refrigerator for up to four days. Since it is served chilled, reheating is not necessary. If I want the cleanest slices, I chill the pie thoroughly before cutting.

FAQs

What type of crust works best?

I usually use a graham cracker crust, but shortbread or vanilla cookie crusts also work well.

Can I freeze Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie?

I make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing so the filling stays creamy and lump-free.
