What kinds of blueberries should I use?
You can use frozen or fresh blueberries. If you use frozen, there’s no need to thaw them. I used an 18-oz. package of fresh blueberries for my pie. Produce is at its peak in summer, making fruit more affordable and available. I try to catch the sales on blueberries at my local supermarket as they happen frequently all summer long.
How to make the best Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie
Of course, you can buy a pre-made graham cracker crust and store-bought whipped cream if you’re in a hurry. Your pie will still taste heavenly! Read below to prepare for baking the best blueberry cream cheese pie.
CRUST
To prepare the crust, butter a pie pan and preheat the oven.
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir with a spoon then use your hands to combine. Pour the graham cracker mixture into the prepared pie pan, forming a ¼-inch thick crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to firmly pack the graham cracker crumbs. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, until the crust is slightly cooked and golden. Let it cool.
FILLING
Use a stand or hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream together. Add the sugar and beat until well blended. Add the lemon juice and beat until smooth. Pour the mixture over the cooked pie crust.
BLUEBERRY TOPPING
Whisk the cornstarch, sugar, and salt together in a medium pot. Add the water and continue whisking until combined. Pour in the blueberries and cook over medium-high heat until the mixture starts to boil. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 9-10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes. Pour the mixture over the filling.
WHIPPED CREAM
Use a stand or hand mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, about 4-5 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until medium peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Spoon the whipped cream on top of the pie. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 3-4 hours.
