Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets), finely crushed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled and whipped to soft peaks
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, washed and pat-dried
- Zest of one medium lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter in a medium bowl until crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the base and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.
- Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and free of lumps, about 2 minutes.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and continue beating until smooth and fully incorporated.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, keeping the filling light and airy.
- Fold in lemon zest and optional vanilla extract.
- Pour the creamy filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
- Scatter fresh blueberries evenly across the top, pressing some gently into the filling.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to set fully.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth filling. Whip cream to soft peaks only to avoid turning it into butter. Chill pie for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Use a warm knife for clean slices. Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained. Optional vanilla extract adds depth. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with dairy-free alternatives.
