Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie Ingredients

Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie raw ingredients that are labeled

The combination of the tangy cream cheese, the sweetness of the blueberries, and the buttery graham cracker crust is simply irresistible.

With every bite, you’ll discover a burst of juicy blueberries and the smooth cream cheese filling that will leave you wanting more.

You’ll need:

For The Blueberry Topping:

3 cups of fresh blueberries (approximately 1 pound container)
2 tablespoons of cold water
3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon zest
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon of cornstarch

For The Cream Cheese Filling:

9-ounce (10-inch) pre-made graham cracker crust
½ cup of cold water
2¼ teaspoons of unflavored gelatin (1 packet from a 1-ounce box. I used the Knox brand)
1 cup of heavy whipping cream, very cold
12 ounces of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 cups of powdered sugar, sifted

PRO TIP:

Unflavored gelatin can be easily found in the ‘Jello’ section of your local grocery store.

For The Garnish:

8-ounce tub of extra creamy Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed

Substitutions And Additions

CRUST: A homemade graham cracker crust would also work well for this pie. You can also use a pre-made pastry crust.

You should follow the instructions for pre-baking and allow it to cool completely before adding the cheesecake filling.

BLUEBERRY: You can use a good quality blueberry pie filling instead of our fresh berry filling to make this a really quick and easy pie.

WHIPPED TOPPING: If you do not want to use the thawed whipped topping as your garnish on your no bake pie, you can use a homemade stabilized whipped topping instead.

CREAM CHEESE: Full-fat cream cheese is the best choice for this delicious pie as it will give the creamiest texture.

How To Make This Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie Recipe

Before making the filling for this pie, you will make the juicy blueberry topping on the stovetop. Once that is ready, you can whip up the creamy filling and assemble the pie.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

You will want to make your blueberry topping about an hour before preparing the rest of your blueberry cream cheese pie to allow the topping to cool enough before topping your cream cheese filling layer.

Blueberry Topping

STEP ONE: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the blueberries, water, granulated sugar, and lemon zest.

Stir and allow the berries to heat up and the sugar to melt for about two to three minutes.

STEP TWO: In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice and cornstarch until no lumps remain.

After the blueberries have heated up, you will stir the cornstarch slurry mixture into the berries and cook for another two to three minutes to thicken the liquids.

You do not want your blueberries to break down too much. You want as many whole berries as possible for the topping.

STEP THREE: Transfer the blueberry mixture to a medium bowl and lightly cover it with a piece of plastic wrap.

Allow the berries to cool on the counter for about an hour before adding them to your pie.

Cream Cheese Filling

STEP ONE: Remove the plastic covering from the pre-made graham cracker crust and place the crust on a rimmed baking tray.

This will make transporting your pie to and from the refrigerator easier.

STEP TWO: To make the filling, add the cold water and unflavored gelatin in a small bowl. Stir the gelatin to make sure that you do not have any big dry lumps.

Set aside for two to three minutes to thicken.

STEP THREE: In a large mixing bowl, beat the very cold, heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer for three to four minutes or until stiff peaks form.

You will want to start on low and work your way to high speed. If you start on high, then you run the risk of splattering the loose heavy cream everywhere. Set aside.

STEP FOUR: In a separate large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until no lumps remain.

PRO TIP:

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, or you will end up with lumps in the creamy filling.

STEP FIVE: Add the vanilla extract and half the powdered sugar to the beaten cream cheese. Mix until all the powdered sugar is incorporated.

Add the remaining half of the powdered sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Set aside.

STEP SIX: Heat your reserved, thickened gelatin in the microwave for 20 seconds. Stir to make sure no lumps remain and the mixture is pourable.

STEP SEVEN: With your mixer on low speed, slowly pour the warm gelatin into the cream cheese mixture.

Be sure that you fully incorporate the gelatin into the mixture.

STEP EIGHT: Gently fold the reserved whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula.

You do not want any streaks of whipped cream. Do not overmix.

STEP NINE: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the pre-made graham cracker crust. Smooth the top.

STEP TEN: Spoon the cooled blueberry mixture onto the cream cheese layer.

Be sure to leave about a half to one inch around the border for the whipped topping garnish.

STEP ELEVEN: Place the blueberry cream cheese pie into the refrigerator to chill for at least six hours or up to overnight.

PRO TIP:

The pie needs enough time to chill for the gelatin in the cream filling and the blueberry layer to set properly. Once set, you are rewarded with a smooth and well-formed pie that holds together beautifully when sliced and served.

STEP TWELVE: Once your cream cheese blueberry pie has fully chilled and set up, transfer the thawed Cool Whip whipped topping to a large piping bag fitted with a decorative tip.

How To Serve

Enjoy a creamy slice of your blueberry cheesecake pie along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Don’t forget to wash it down with a warm mug of homemade hot chocolate or a refreshing iced tea.
