One of our favorite pies

We have enjoyed blueberry picking again this year, especially at Riley Creek Blueberry Farm.
If you live near Riley Creek, but don't have time to pick berries, you can just stop by and purchase frozen gallons of berries....usually for a better price than the grocery store.

Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie

Make one graham cracker crust (recipe on graham cracker box),
and press into a 9x13 glass baking dish.

Mix:
One 8oz pkg. + 4oz cream cheese
3/4 C sugar
3 eggs
2 t. vanilla
Pour into crust and bake about 15 min at 350,
or until toothpick comes out clean.

Let this layer cool.

In a saucepan, cook over medium heat:
4 C blueberries
1 C sugar
2 TBL cornstarch
1 t. lemon juice
Stir often, when this mixture begins to thicken, cool slightly,
then pour on top of the cream layer.

Chill pie for at least 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream.


This recipe can be ready to eat a little faster by using the prepared graham crusts that you can buy in the baking aisle. We like to make six miniature pies, and one standard 9" pie, lots to share!
