No need to turn on the oven for this pie! The no-bake pie includes a thick graham cracker crust, luscious cream cheese layer and homemade blueberry pie filling.
Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
  • 180g (1 ½ cups) finely ground graham cracker crumbs (10-11 full sheets)
  • 55g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
  • 85g (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Layer
  • 113g light or regular cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 41g (3 tablespoons) granulated sugar
  • 15 milliliters (1 tablespoon) heavy cream

  • 165g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
  • 25g (3 tablespoons) cornstarch
  • 1g (1/4 teaspoon) salt
  • 570g (4 cups) blueberries, separated in half (if you can, group the best looking blueberries together, you will want to cook the blueberries that aren’t “perfect”)
  • 60 milliliters (¼ cup) water
  • 15 milliliters (1 tablespoon) fresh lemon juice (from ~1/2 lemon)
  • 14g (1 tablespoon) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
Instructions
  1. Prepare pie crust; in a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter
  2. Press crust ingredients down with your hands into a 9-inch pie plate
  3. Place crust in refrigerator and make cream cheese layer and filling
  4. In the bowl of a stand mixer use whisk attachment to combine ingredients until creamy, light and smooth; set aside and prepare blueberry pie filling
  5. In a medium heavy duty pot, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt; add half of the blueberries and water
  6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until blueberry mixture turns thickens and turns a very dark purple; this will take several minutes
  7. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and butter
  8. Fold in remaining blueberries
  9. Assemble the pie; remove crust from refrigerator and spread cream cheese layer evenly over top; gently spread blueberry filling into pie, making sure to keep cream cheese layer intact

Notes
Slightly adapted from this pie which I blogged about here
Crust can be made up to 24 hours before filling, just cover it in seran and keep refrigerated
Pie should be enjoyed within three days of making
