Ingredients

• Premade graham cracker crust: Adds buttery crunch and is super convenient Look for a crust that is well packed and not broken
• Cream cheese: Softened cream cheese is the key to a smooth and creamy filling Choose full fat for the richest result and room temperature for easy mixing
• Vanilla extract: Brings aromatic flavor to the creamy pie Use pure vanilla when possible for the best taste
• Whipped topping: Makes the filling light and fluffy Go for a fresh or frozen tub style and thaw before using
• Blueberry pie filling: Adds sweet fruitiness and beautiful color Choose a brand that is packed with whole berries for the best texture Or use fresh berries for an even brighter flavor
• Whipped cream and fresh blueberries: Optional toppings that make your pie look extra special and add a pop of freshness

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:

Use a medium mixing bowl and beat the softened cream cheese with vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy Small lumps will show in the final texture so make sure to blend well

Fold in Whipped Topping:

Add the thawed whipped topping to your cream cheese mixture Gently mix until everything is uniform and fluffy Avoid over mixing to keep the airy texture

Add Some Blueberry Swirl:

Spoon in about a quarter cup of the blueberry pie filling Use a spatula to gently swirl it into the creamy filling just until marbled Some streaks are perfect for visual appeal

Fill the Pie Crust:

Carefully transfer the cream cheese blueberry mixture into the premade graham cracker crust Use the spatula to spread evenly and smooth the top for a tidy finish

Chill Until Set:

Refrigerate your pie for at least four hours so the filling firms up well Overnight chilling works great if you want to make it ahead for the next day

Finish with Blueberry Topping:

Once the pie is set spoon the rest of the blueberry pie filling across the top Spread to cover fully Garnish with whipped cream and fresh berries if you like for a bakery worthy look

Save

The graham cracker crust is my personal favorite part because it reminds me of making pie with my grandmother in her kitchen We always tried to sneak a little crust before the filling went in and it brings back such happy memories

Storage Tips

Store the finished blueberry cream cheese pie loosely covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator It holds up well for about two to three days and the texture actually gets a little more set overnight If you want to freeze it wrap tightly and thaw in the fridge before serving The crust can get softer but the flavor stays delicious

Ingredient Substitutions

If you do not have a premade graham cracker crust try making your own by mixing crushed crackers with melted butter and pressing into a pie plate For the filling you can swap in a homemade blueberry compote for the canned version or even try cherry or raspberry pie filling for a twist Greek yogurt can be folded into the filling in place of some cream cheese for a tangier version

Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled with lots of extra whipped cream and a handful of fresh blueberries for a showstopping dessert Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water to get clean pieces For parties I sometimes turn the pie mix into mini tarts using small cookie crusts for personal servings
