Why We Love This Delicious No-Bake Blueberry Pie:

This lovely little Blueberry Pie is loaded with fresh blueberries in a crumbly, nutty graham cracker crust. It’s lower in sugar, allowing the berry flavor to really shine. And when piled high with whipped cream, this pie becomes a delicious treat that is almost impossible to stop eating.

It’s also incredibly easy to make, with just a handful of ingredients. It’s a deliciously light and refreshing treat, so it makes a regular appearance at our house when blueberries are in season. If you are looking for an easy, light, delicious, no-bake dessert.. you’ve come to the right place.

Ingredients You’ll Need for this Blueberry Pie Recipe:

  • Blueberries– We like to use fresh blueberries in this pie. Frozen blueberries will work, but use fresh blueberries at the end if possible.
  • Sugar– Sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness and also helps to thicken the filling.
  • Sea Salt– Don’t forget the salt! It rounds out the flavor and just makes everything taste better.
  • Fresh Lemon Juice and Lemon Zest– Lemon and blueberry is an iconic flavor pairing. It adds a deliciously bright, citrusy note to the pie.
  • Cornstarch– Cornstarch is used as the thickening agent in the pie filling.
  • Graham Cracker Crust– You can use premade crust, but homemade graham cracker crusts are easy to make and taste so much better.

How to Make Blueberry Pie:

  1. Make the graham cracker crust. Make your graham cracker crust.
  2. Make the filling. Add 1 cup of blueberries, sugar and salt to a medium saucepan. Whisk together the water, lemon juice and cornstarch in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl. Add to the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a bubble. Reduce the heat and continue to cook for a few minutes to allow the mixture to thicken and get darker in color. Remove from the heat. Stir in the remaining blueberries and allow to cool.
  3. Assemble your pie. Pour the blueberry filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly. Allow to set up for a couple of hours at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
  4. Serve. Top your pie with fresh blueberries, lemon zest, and whipped cream. Enjoy!!

Tips & Suggestions:

Make-Ahead Convenience

The blueberry pie filling can be made up to 4 days in advance. Store in a tightly sealed container in the fridge. Add the filling to the crust on the day you plan to serve it.

How long does Blueberry Pie last in the fridge?

Leftover pie (who are we kidding here) can be covered with plastic wrap and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Make it pretty.

To get a pretty, decorative crust like I did here, combine 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs with 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1 teaspoon sugar. Stir well and add to the edges of your pie pan. You can also increase your graham cracker pie ingredients and reserving some of the crumbs for garnish.

Variations & Substitutions

  • Replace the graham cracker crust with a flaky pie crust. Or, replace the graham crackers with Ritz crackers, vanilla wafers, or Biscoff cookies.
  • Use a combination of blueberries, blackberries and raspberries in the filling.
  • Add a layer of sweetened cream cheese to the bottom of the pie crust before adding the blueberry filling.
  • Make individual desserts by layering blueberry filling, crumbled graham cracker pie crust, and whipped cream into small jars or parfait glasses.

Do you think that you could substitute the flour for something grain free? Or would it drastically change it?
