Let me paint a picture for you. Imagine a buttery, crunchy crust made out of graham crackers and brown sugar. Now imagine a crumb topping made with brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. That alone would be enough to get my attention…but we haven’t even gotten to the filling yet!

Take those two layers and then pile in an insane number of blueberries. Oh, and don’t forget the creamy custard filling complete with vanilla and lemon flavors, too. All together, this Blueberry Cream Pie is an award winning dessert! Ok, so I haven’t entered it into any contests yet, but it would win an award if I did. *pinky swear*

Blueberry Cream Pie

This Blueberry Cream Pie is entirely homemade, but it’s actually quite simple to make. The homemade graham cracker crust is probably the most time consuming part…and it really doesn’t take much time at all. (Of course, you could use a store-bought graham cracker crust, but I highly recommend just making your own. It’ll taste better!)

The blueberry filling in this pie is packed with juicy blueberries. I’m talking 3 cups of berries! If blueberries are in season, feel free to use fresh berries. Frozen berries are perfectly fine, too – just make sure to thaw the berries before adding them to the pie.

Recipe Variations

This Blueberry Cream Pie is truly a favorite around here – and it’s always a crowd-pleaser! With that said, you could certainly play with this recipe a bit to find new favorites.

• Feel free to change the fruit. Instead of blueberries, try making this pie with strawberries, blackberries or raspberries. I suspect diced peaches would also work well!
• The graham cracker crust pairs nicely with fruit, but feel free to go with a chocolate cookie crust instead. Crumbled Oreo cookies would make a great pie crust – especially when paired with strawberries!
• Love lemon + blueberry? Boost the lemon flavor in this pie by adding lemon zest into the custard filling. Or perhaps go with strawberries and use orange zest. The options are limitless here!

Can I use frozen blueberries?

As noted above, yes! Frozen blueberries are perfectly fine in this recipe – just make sure to let the frozen berries thaw before adding them to the pie.

Can I make this pie in advance?

If possible, I recommend serving this blueberry pie the same day you bake it. While it does hold well in the refrigerator, the crumb topping loses a bit of its crunch. With that said, we’ve served this pie both warm (from oven) and cold (from fridge). It’s delicious both ways! I don’t recommend freezing this pie.

If you’re looking for a fantastic summer dessert recipe that will be the hit of the party, then put this Blueberry Cream Pie on the list! The only problem is making sure the pie actually makes it to the party. (Ok, maybe if one tiny slice is missing, no-one will notice!) Happy Baking!
