Description

Highlighting two of the best flavors of the summer.


Ingredients

Scale

For the blueberry topping:

  • 3 ½ cups fresh blueberries, divided
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

For the pie:

  • 2 blocks cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups whipped topping
  • 1 store bought graham cracker pie crust
  • 1 store bought pie crust

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until the cornstarch is dissolved.
  2. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the blueberries and stir until thickened. Add the lemon zest and stir to combine.
  3. Remove from heat and fold in the remaining blueberries.
  4. Pour the blueberry mixture into a separate bowl. Allow it to cool a few minutes before transferring the bowl to the refrigerator to chill as you make the filling. This will make about 2 cups.
  5. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy.
  6. Add in the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Beat until everything is combined.
  7. Gently fold in the whipped topping. This will make about 3 ½ cups of filling.
  8. Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  9. Top with the cooled blueberry topping.
  10. Chill the cream pie in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until set.
  11. While your pie is chilling, using flower cookie cutters, cut out little flowers from the store bought pie crust. Bake one a parchment.
