My mom has been making this dessert for our family for years and it is so refreshing and light for summer. Made with fresh blueberries that they grow up in NC at their mountain house, they always have a bountiful crop of sweet delicious blueberries and my mom then freezes to use later. This recipe can be used with fresh or frozen blueberries. It’s equally delicious either way!
This is a take-off of the old style cherry cream cheese recipe that we all grew up with, but really blueberries make it even better. Mom had a great idea when she started substituting blueberries in her version.
Does that look fantastic or what? This is a wonderful dessert for summer months, when you want something cool and refreshing. Pop it in the fridge to cool it off and it is a very tasty treat.
NOTE: If you’ve made this pie and your filling is not setting up properly, it’s too runny, we found out that the condensed milk sold now has more milk in it and is a thinner consistency. So use less condensed milk than the recipe called for and it will set up firm.
Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie
One 9″ Graham cracker crust
1 8 oz. PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese bar
1 can sweetened condensed milk (only use 1 and 1/4 cups, not the whole can for best results)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix the cream cheese with the condensed milk with a mixer. Then add the lemon juice and vanilla. Mix well to thicken. Pour into crust.
Blueberry Topping
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup sugar
Heaping tsp. corn starch
Cook berries with sugar over medium/low heat, stirring well. Add a heaping tsp. corn starch to thicken. Mix well and cook about 5 min.
Pour over top of cream cheese mixture and chill for a few hours.
Slice, eat and sit back with a sigh of contentment! Let me know if you try this one. It is definitely one of our family faves!

Holly Hannah says
I can’t wait to make this recipe in a few minutes for my family dessert.. I know its more of a summertime dessert but I love these pies anytime! Except the directions say to cook for 5 Min.. at what temperature in the oven do I cook this for? also do I sit it on a bake sheet or leave as is
and place in the oven without a rack underneath
Rhoda says
HI, Holly, this is a no bake pie. The 5 min. cooking is for the blueberry topping that goes on top and the whole pie is chilled. Hope that explains!
Margit says
I picked some wild blueberries a couple days ago and wanted to make a pie for my dad for helping me. Made this recipe and it didn’t even make it out the door, my husband loves it! Says it’s his favorite pie!! And that is truly an honor considering all of his grandmas baking! Making another one now for my dad, let’s hope he gets this one 🙂 the only this is, is that’s it’s pretty sweet, so pieces you serve could be a little smaller, also I prefer to make my own graham cracker crust, I like it a little thicker. Going to try it with raspberries next!!
