This treasured recipe comes from my former co-worker, Mickey Grant, who was known for bringing delicious homemade treats to the office. Her blueberry cream pies were always the highlight of our workplace potlucks, disappearing within minutes of being set out. Mickey taught me that sometimes the simplest recipes create the most memorable desserts. I’ve been making these pies for my family gatherings ever since, and they always bring back fond memories of those office celebrations.

How to Make This Blueberry Cream Pie No Bake Recipe
This Blueberry Cream Pie recipe makes two pies. Since they don’t freeze well, you may want only to make one. You can use up the leftover condensed milk in another dish or freeze it for up to three months in an airtight container.
To prepare this recipe:
- Mix the condensed milk and the lemon juice in a large mixing bowl with a whisk or rubber spatula.
- Gently fold the Cool Whip into the other ingredients.
- Add the berries to the cream mixture and stir gently.
- Fill each graham cracker crumb crusts with half of the pie mixture. Smooth the top of the pie with an offset spatula.
- Loosely cover the top of the pies with plastic wrap and refrigerate them until the filling sets, about three to four hours. Keep the pies in the fridge until serving.

Notes
Tips for Success
- Blueberry Selection: Choose firm, plump berries with a deep blue color and silvery bloom. Avoid soft or wrinkled berries.
- Gentle Folding: Maintain the light, airy texture by folding ingredients gently rather than stirring vigorously.
- Complete Chilling: Allow the full recommended chilling time for the filling to set properly.
- Room Temperature Cream: Let the whipped topping come to room temperature for 5 minutes before folding for easier incorporation.
Nutrition
What to Serve With Blueberry Cream Pie
A thick slice of pie is more than enough for most people, but when you want just a little more, try a dollop of fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. You can sprinkle some fresh blueberries or lemon zest as a garnish.
Nothing beats a great cup of coffee with a slice of pie. Brew your favorite hot coffee, or try McDonald’s Iced Coffee instead.
How to Store the Leftovers
Keep blueberry cream with graham cracker crust pies wrapped in plastic or inside pie keepers in the fridge. Freezing these pies isn’t a good idea because the filling may start to break down.
How Long Will These Pies Last?
The pies will stay fresh for up to three days in the fridge, but the sooner you eat them, the better.

This recipe is from a former co-worker of mine, Mickey Grant, these are beautiful pies, and they are effortless. Micky Grant was one of my favorite co-workers. She was always baking and bringing in delicious treats into the office.
Ingredient Notes
You can use any whipped topping, like Cool Whip, in this recipe. Please stay away from real whipped cream because heavy whipped cream is not stable enough and will break down much sooner.
You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon zest for additional flavor.
This pie is even easier if you buy pre-made graham cracker pie crust. However, nothing beats a homemade crust, and it is worth the little bit of extra effort it takes. Making your own crust allows more control. Here’s how
Combine 1½ cups of graham cracker crumbs, two tablespoons of sugar (white or brown sugar), and 6 tablespoons of melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix them and press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Swap vanilla or chocolate wafer cookies for the graham crackers, or choose a crushed nut crust.
Resist the urge to use frozen blueberries. Sure, they are cheaper and available year-round, but frozen blueberries are usually tart and will bleed, turning your pie purple.
I’m not sure how long this recipe has been here, but it is my absolute favorite! Funny enough, this is my first time actually making it myself. It has, however, been a favorite for over a decade. Like today, it’s how I’ve chosen to celebrate my birthday! Rich, fresh, and quite indulgent. Also, if ive learned anything from my mom: always go for a homemade crust.
Can the cool whip be replaced with homemade whipped cream? I never use cool whip.
I have not tested the recipe out this way, to say so definitively I would need to prepare it a few times to make sure. Please stay tuned.
Sorry I would love 2 make this pie, but being PRE DIABETIC the condensed milk has way 2 much sugar.
I understand your concern.
I am allergic to blueberries. Can I use raspberries or strawberries?
I don’t see why that wouldn’t work! Let me know how it goes.
Can this be frozen?
I don’t know. I haven’t tried freezing this.
I know that the tubs of Cool Whip can be frozen so amd wondering if the pie itself would be ok in the freezer – possibly !
I think it would be fine in the freezer.
This was really easy to make and wonderful!
