Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

How to Make Blueberry Cream Pie
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out your pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and lemon juice, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Toss to coat the blueberries.
- Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust, followed by the cream cheese filling. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- For the lattice crust, roll out another pie crust and cut it into strips. Weave the strips over the filling in a lattice pattern, trimming any excess dough.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk for the egg wash. Brush the lattice crust with the mixture for a golden finish.
- Bake the pie for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours for the best flavor and texture.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Allow the pie to cool completely to help the filling set properly.
- If desired, sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of the lattice crust before baking for added sweetness.
Easy Variations
- Swap out blueberries for raspberries or strawberries for a different flavor profile.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture for extra flavor.
- For a richer pie, add a layer of lemon curd under the cream cheese filling.
