The spring means fresh blueberries, and who doesn’t love the fresh blueberries? We have all made lots of blueberry muffins, blueberry cobbler and more. Even if you don’t have fresh blueberries on hand, you can use frozen berries to make some of blueberry pie.
Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie
Thanks to fellow viewer Julie Doellingen for this Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie. This recipe is made with cream cheese. So this pie is almost a combination of creamy cheesecake and a blueberry pie. You can use either fresh blueberries, or you can use canned blueberries for this pie. If you are using fresh blueberries you will need to prepare your sauce for the pie, if not, you can use a can of blueberry pie filling to make this very easy on you.
This has to be one of my favorite ways to make pie; this one is quick and easy. It also took me back years ago. When I was growing up my Dad, and I went to a Father-Daughter Banquet when I was in Girl Scouts, a similar dessert was served up. I fell in love with the flavor combination of blueberries and cream cheese. This Blueberry cream cheese pie brings back special memories of my father and myself attending that banquet.

June 4, 2011 at 12:55 pmWas a little confused about the amount of berries needed. recipe says .2 cups fresh or dry-pack frozen blueberries, rinsed and drain. Fold into cheese mix.
for topping it says to crush 1/2 for glaze.then top pie with remaining 1-1/2 C. berries. ??
How many berries total for the whole Pie?”

June 5, 2011 at 7:59 amYou need 2 cups of berries either dry-pack or fresh. I rinsed my fruit before putting in the cream cheese mixture.

August 18, 2011 at 9:02 pmSo, use 2 cups for the original part and then 2 more cups for the glaze?

May 21, 2011 at 6:17 pmCould you use raspberries instead? Would you still need the lemon juice?
Stephanie says
May 22, 2011 at 4:09 amI would cautiously try that one. Maybe I would start out with a blend of blueberries and raspberries first to see how it all worked out before I did 100% raspberries. I would also consider leaving reducing some of the lemon juice, or maybe just using a little zest instead.

May 19, 2011 at 4:30 amI made this last night, I loved the creaminess of the filling, and the blueberries taste so good. This wasn’t that hard to make either.

May 18, 2011 at 2:10 pmI am soooo glad to see this recipe! I used to get a very similar pie at a now-defunct restaurant, can’t believe I can finally make it at home! Their version had the cream cheese layer minus blueberries spread in the bottom of the baked crust, then fresh blueberries piled on top, then the glaze added. I’ll have to try it this way, too, with the berries mixed in the cream cheese.
