Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie

The spring means fresh blueberries, and who doesn’t love the fresh blueberries? We have all made lots of blueberry muffins, blueberry cobbler and more. Even if you don’t have fresh blueberries on hand you can use frozen berries to make some of blueberry pie.

Was a little confused about the amount of berries needed. recipe says .2 cups fresh or dry-pack frozen blueberries, rinsed and drain. Fold into cheese mix.
for topping it says to crush 1/2 for glaze.then top pie with remaining 1-1/2 C. berries. ??
How many berries total for the whole Pie?”

  You need 2 cups of berries either dry-pack or fresh. I rinsed my fruit before putting in the cream cheese mixture.

    So, use 2 cups for the original part and then 2 more cups for the glaze?

Could you use raspberries instead? Would you still need the lemon juice?

  I would cautiously try that one. Maybe I would start out with a blend of blueberries and raspberries first to see how it all worked out before I did 100% raspberries. I would also consider leaving reducing some of the lemon juice, or maybe just using a little zest instead.

I made this last night, I loved the creaminess of the filling, and the blueberries taste so good. This wasn’t that hard to make either.

I am soooo glad to see this recipe! I used to get a very similar pie at a now-defunct restaurant, can’t believe I can finally make it at home! Their version had the cream cheese layer minus blueberries spread in the bottom of the baked crust, then fresh blueberries piled on top, then the glaze added. I’ll have to try it this way, too, with the berries mixed in the cream cheese.
