One of the great joys in life is a Blueberry Cream Pie. Loaded with lots of fresh blueberries and just the right balance of cream and sweetness to make this dessert a showstopper!
Cream pies are one of those treats we always look for when we’re out but for some reason, we never get around to making them at home. This is a simple recipe that can be used with a variety of fresh fruit and fruit juices. So once you master this easy to make dessert, you can have freshly made cream pies on your dessert menu on a regular basis.
Let’s start by gathering our ingredients aka mise en place. There aren’t very many ingredients necessary for this delicious Blueberry Cream Pie and it’s a No Bake pie that can be made ahead of time and frozen till needed. (missing from this picture are cream cheese and blueberry greek yogurt)
You never know what you’re going to find in my refrigerator, sometimes I’m surprised by what’s in there and I do all the shopping. I had picked up a few star fruit that were on sale at Publix last week and thought what better way to let everyone know this Blueberry Cream Pie was a superstar than with star fruit!
You have to feel good about a dessert that tastes this good and is made with locally sourced fresh ingredients. And what a delicious way to use fresh blueberries!

As I am on the other side of the world in New Zealand, I will keep this one until summer, as I love anything blueberry.
Can you convert the amount of gelatin for me please, ie. is it a tablespoon or two or a teaspoon or three!
Many thanks.

Gorgeous! No bake desserts are housewives best friend, we can do house chores, cook, and in short time make dessert too.
I drank many juices that say all natural but from one sip you can tell there is nothing natural about it. Never heard of noble before, will search for it in the store next time.
Thanks for sharing such a beauty with us 🙂
