Alright, let’s talk about this no-bake blueberry pie with cream cheese. You know, the kind that don’t need no oven, just stick it in the fridge and it’s good to go. My grandbaby, she showed me this thing on the internet, said it’s all the rage. So, I figured, how hard can it be? Turns out, not too hard at all, even for an old woman like me.
First thing’s first, you gotta get yourself some graham crackers. You know, the square ones? Smash ‘em up good. I put ‘em in a bag and whacked ‘em with a rolling pin. Worked like a charm. Then you melt some butter – real butter, mind you, not that fake stuff – and mix it with the cracker crumbs. Pat that mixture into the bottom of a pie pan. That’s your crust, see? Easy peasy.
Now for the creamy part. You take a block of cream cheese, gotta let it sit out for a bit so it gets soft, you know? Like when you leave butter out on the counter. Then you whip it up with some sugar. Not too much, just enough to make it sweet. I used that powdered sugar, the kind that feels like flour. And then, the secret ingredient – a little bit of vanilla. Just a splash, don’t go overboard.
- Get some graham crackers
- Smash them up good
- Melt some real butter
- Mix butter and crumbs
- Pat into pie pan
Next up, the blueberries. Now, you can use fresh ones or those frozen ones, whatever you got. If you use frozen, let ‘em thaw out a bit first. And you gotta make ‘em saucy, you know? I put some in a little pot with a bit of water and some more sugar. Cooked it down till it got thick and bubbly. Like jam, but not quite as thick.
Okay, so now you got your crust, your creamy filling, and your blueberry sauce. Time to put it all together. Spread that cream cheese mixture over the crust, smooth it out nice and even. Then you spoon that blueberry sauce on top. Swirl it around a little if you’re feeling fancy, I didn’t bother though. And that’s pretty much it! You stick that pie in the fridge for a few hours, let it set up good and cold.
And let me tell you, it’s good. Real good. The crust is crunchy, the filling is smooth and creamy, and those blueberries are sweet and tangy. It’s the perfect dessert for a hot summer day, or any day really. My grandkids, they gobbled it right up. Said it was better than anything I ever baked in the oven. Can you believe that? Me, an old lady, making fancy no-bake pies.
Here’s a little secret, though. You can add a little somethin’ somethin’ to that blueberry sauce. A squeeze of lemon juice, maybe, or a pinch of cinnamon. Or even a little bit of that apple jelly my neighbor gave me. Just a little bit, you don’t wanna overpower the blueberries. It’s all about experimenting, you see? Finding what you like.
This no-bake blueberry pie with cream cheese, it’s a keeper. It’s easy to make, doesn’t heat up the kitchen, and everyone loves it. And you know what the best part is? No baking! That’s right, no fussing with oven temperatures or worrying about burning the crust. Just mix it, layer it, and chill it. Even a blind hen can find a kernel of corn, and even I can make this pie. And that’s saying something.
So, go on, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed. And if you mess it up, well, who cares? It’s just a pie. You can always try again. Or just eat the filling with a spoon, I won’t tell nobody. And if your grandbabies are anything like mine they’ll eat it no matter how it looks.
And that’s all there is to it. A simple, no-bake blueberry pie with cream cheese. Perfect for a hot day, a family gathering, or just a sweet treat for yourself. Now go on and make it, you’ve got nothin’ to lose!
