Easy Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie Recipe

Looking for an easy blueberry pie to bake? Try this blueberry cream cheese pie recipe. It is an easy pie recipe that you are sure to love!

When I was picking blueberries with our family a couple of weeks ago, I was reminded of a blueberry pie that my Mom used to make. Why this pie? It starts with a sweet layer of cream cheese before being topped by delicious blueberries. Blueberry pies are good, but this blueberry pie? The cream cheese filling takes your blueberry pie to the next level!

It is a decadent dessert but it is also a very easy pie dessert. It is a great dessert to feed company in the summertime. You can make this pie a day or two ahead of time and your family and friends will love the outstanding blueberry flavor complimented by the creamy filling. 

Without a doubt, this is my favorite blueberry pie recipe.

The nice thing about this pie recipe is that there are lots of options! You can use a premade pie crust or make your own. You can use a can of blueberry pie filling (which is super quick and easy) or make your own blueberry filling if you have fresh blueberries. I have included directions for all these options in the recipe. 

However you choose to make this blueberry cream pie, it will be delicious!

This blueberry pie with cream cheese starts with a traditional pie crust! Use your pie crust recipe of choice. I used to be a Betty Crocker type of pie crust girl until I discovered Ree Drummond’s perfect pie crust. It makes a perfectly flaky pie crust – and it makes three pie crusts at once, so you can freeze some for later. 

Of course, if you’re not a homemade pie crust maker, Pillsbury sells a premade pie crust that you simply unroll to bake. Pie crust is really simple to make so I’d encourage you to give it a try!

Once you have your pie crust of choice ready, unroll it in your pie pan and prick the bottom with multiple fork holes all over the crust. This recipe requires a pre-baked pie crust so do that first. Bake your pie crust at 475 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove your pie crust from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.

Next up is the layer that sets this blueberry pie apart from all other blueberry pies. This is my favorite part of the pie – the cream cheese layer! It is almost like a cheesecake filling, but it is so much easier!

To create this delicious cream cheese layer, use your electric mixer to cream together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and Cool Whip. Spread this cream cheese layer over the bottom of your cooled pie crust. Don’t forget to lick the spoon!

The top layer of the pie is, of course, the sweet blueberry pie part. There are two ways to make this layer. 

You can buy a can of blueberry pie filling, or you can make your own blueberry mixture. If it is blueberry season, there is nothing quite like the taste of fresh blueberries. However, the canned version also works. I’ve made the pie both ways and both ways are delicious. 

Most recently, I picked blueberries so I made my own blueberry pie filling. If you’d like to do so, you can as well! It’s very easy and a great way to use your fresh fruit.

To make your own homemade blueberry pie filling, follow these simple steps.

Combine 3/4 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons corn starch, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Add in 4 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries. Cook this mixture over medium heat until thick. How long? There’s no exact science other than watching for it to thicken. I promise that it will be obvious when it thickens because suddenly your spoon is coated with your homemade blueberry pie filling.

If you are making homemade blueberry pie filling, I’d recommend letting it cool in the fridge slightly before spreading it on the pie. Give yourself enough time to let the mixture cool completely. If you’re using a canned pie filling, then you are ready to go!

Using your cooled blueberry filling, gently spoon the fruit topping all over your pie. Once that is done, you’ve made a delicious blueberry cream cheese pie!

Refrigerate the pie until you are ready to serve. It serves 8 to 10 people, depending on the size of the individual slices you cut.

Here is my recipe for the best blueberry pie cream cheese pie.

Blueberry Pie Ingredients:

1 pie crust, baked
3 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup Cool Whip
1 can blueberry pie filling (or homemade pie filling – see directions below)

How to Make a Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie:

Start by making a pie crust using your favorite pie crust recipe. Gently line crust into your pie plate and trim excess crust. Using a fork, poke holes in the bottom and sides of your pie crust, to ensure an even bake. 

Bake pie crust at 475 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow your pie crust to cool completely.

Using a mixer, cream together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and Cool Whip. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled pie crust.

Top the cream cheese with a layer of blueberry topping. You can use a canned pie filling for this step, or make your own.

If you are making your own homemade blueberry sauce, combine 3/4 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons corn starch, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Add in 4 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries. Cook this mixture over medium heat until blueberry sauce is thick and covers the back of your spoon as stirring. Cool blueberry mixture completely before spooning over the cream cheese layer.

For best results, refrigerate the blueberry pie until ready to serve. Enjoy!
