Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Carefully press the pie crust dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Use a fork to prick small holes in the bottom and sides of the crust. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Bake the pie crust in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. Let cool completely to room temperature. (Bake time: 15 minutes, Cool time: 30 minutes)

04

Step

In a microwave-safe bowl, soften the cream cheese in the microwave on High for about 20 seconds, or until easily spreadable. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the bottom of the cooled pie crust. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

06

Step

Gently arrange 2 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries over the cream cheese layer. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

07

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

08

Step

In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch mixture, the remaining 2 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries, sugar, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5-10 minutes. (Cook time: 5-10 minutes)

09

Step

Carefully pour the warm, thickened blueberry mixture over the layer of raw blueberries in the pie crust, spreading it evenly. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

10

Step

Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour, or until the filling is completely set. (Refrigerate time: 1 hour)

For an extra touch, brush the baked crust with a beaten egg white before baking to create a moisture barrier that helps prevent a soggy bottom.
If you don't have fresh lemon zest, a few drops of lemon juice will also work well.
For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar in the cooked blueberry mixture.
Serve chilled, topped with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
