Ingredients
Method
Preparation of the crust
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well blended.
- Press this mixture into the bottom of a pie dish to create an even crust.
- Allow it to chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up.
Preparation of the cream cheese mixture
- While the crust chills, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in another bowl until smooth.
Whipping the cream
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Combining mixtures
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Assembling the pie
- Pour the cream cheese filling into the chilled crust.
- Smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
Making the blueberry topping
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly, then let it cool.
Finishing touches
- Once cooled, pour the blueberry mixture over the cream cheese filling, spreading it evenly.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least four hours or until set.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid. Garnish with mint leaves or additional blueberries for flair.
