Blueberry Lemon Crumb Pie

Blueberry Lemon Crumb Pie – Cool, creamy pie in a lemon cookie crust and topped with blueberries. The perfect dessert for spring and summer. 

When the weather starts getting warmer I love making a chilled dessert like this pie. Other cool desserts you might enjoy is this Yum Yum pie and Key Lime Trifle.

Blueberry and lemon is just a delicious combination. The bright, slightly tart lemon perfectly balances out the sweet creamy filling and blueberry topping.

What you need

Lemon cookies or Lemon creme filled cookies – If you can’t find them, try a vanilla cookie like vanilla wafers or vanilla OREOS. 

Blueberry Pie filling – Use your favorite canned or homemade filling. The key is to make sure it is chilled before using for topping.

Cream Cheese – I like to use full fat for this recipe. Make sure to soften at room temperature to ensure a creamy center. 

Sugar – I like to use Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Sugar.

Lemon – You will need the juice and the peel.

Butter – Used for the crust. 

Confectioners Sugar – I use Dixie Crystals Confectioners sugar. This adds sweetness to the cream filling. 

Whipping Cream

How to make

• Start by preheating oven to 350 degrees. Mix together cookie crumbs, butter and sugar to make a crust. 
• Press the crumb mixture into a pie plate to form a crust. Bake for about 3 minutes and let cool completely.

• Whip together cream cheese and confectioners sugar until it’s fluffy. Stir in the lemon juice and grated lemon peel.
• In a separate bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture.
• Pour mixture into crust and top with chilled blueberry pie filling.

Tips

• Make sure to let your cream cheese soften at room temperature. This really helps make a fluffy center without lumps. 
• I also recommend making sure the cookie crust is cold when adding the filling. Once it has finished baking. Let cool and then place in the refrigerator for a few minutes to completely chill. 
• Store any leftovers covered, in the refrigerator.
