Buttery graham cracker crust, a no-bake cheesecake center, and a juicy blueberry topping, makes this an easy and absolutely fresh and delicious pie.
Who doesn't love a make-ahead recipe! This pie is way easier than a full blown cheesecake, but is no less delicious! The blueberry pie filling and graham cracker crust can be made 2 days before needed. Once assembled the pie needs to be refrigerated for 24 hours before serving.
How to make Blueberry Cheesecake Pie
Graham Cracker Crust
This graham cracker crust is made with already-made graham cracker crumbs, some melted butter to hold it all together, and some sugar for sweetness. You could grind up whole graham crackers if you want or if already-made ones are unavailable. You will need a total of 1 cup of crumbs for this recipe.
Cheesecake Layer
This cheesecake is light and creamy with the addition of whipped cream, sugar for some sweetness, and lemon juice to brighten up the flavour. First, whip the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and lemon juice, mix until incorporated and then fold in the whipped cream. Smooth out the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
Blueberry Pie Topping
This blueberry pie topping has got to be one of my favourites! This would be wonderful over homemade vanilla bean ice cream, but today we are putting it on top of a cheesecake pie.
You want to heat up the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Once dissolved, you will add in the blueberries and they will slowly release their juices. When the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat and simmer until it thickens. Refrigerate until you are ready to assemble the pie.
Spoon the blueberry pie filling over the top of the cheesecake layer and place in the refrigerator for 24 hour prior to serving. The leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, that is if it lasts that long!
