This three layered Blueberries Cream Pie Recipe starts with a baked flaky pie shell, followed by an easy homemade jammy blueberry pie filling lining the bottom of the crust. Then we add a middle lemon creamy layer with lemon zest for additional tang. The top layer is whipped cream studded with lemon zest. The lemon zest cuts the sweetness of the cream and adds an additional tangy note to the topping.
The filling isn’t dense like a cheesecake, but light making it an ideal year-round dessert.

🤔 FAQs
These are the questions we are most frequently asked about making (recipe name)
The regular pie filling is baked after it is poured into the pie crust. With most cream pies the fillings are either prepared on the stovetop or whipped up and poured into an already baked crust.
It could be that it wasn't cooked long enough and the thickener didn't have the chance to set up.
The state of Maine designated the blueberry pie as their official state dessert.
To avoid a runny blueberry pie, use smaller berries, use tapioca flour as a thickener, and allow the baked pie to cool as instructed in the recipe! It is important that the pie cooks as long as directed. If it has a crust and seems to be browning too fast, tent the top with aluminum foil. If your pie still has some excess liquid after cutting it, just spoon it out or soak it up with paper towel
👩🏻🍳 Tips
If you're loathe to turn on the oven for a traditional pie crust, make your first layer a graham cracker crust. You can purchase the crust already made up.
We like to freeze this cream pie. Not only does it last longer, but we love the ice cream texture of the filling.
You can use frozen blueberries instead of the fresh. For the blueberry topping you will need to use fresh berries.
📚 Variations
Blueberries and lemon make a winning combination. But, if you want to switch it up a bit, next time use a coconut cream pie filling for your creamy layer.
Instead of a traditional pie crust, make it with a homemade graham cracker crust or even a store-bought one.
You can also substitute strawberries for your cups of fresh blueberries.
🥫 Storage
Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
We like to freeze the pie and take it out of the freezer about an hour before serving. It's best to store the blueberry pie in an airtight container or tightly cover it with plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

📖 Recipe
Blueberry Cream Pie With Lemon Whipped Topping
Equipment Needed
Ingredients
- 2 packages 4-serving size Lemon Pudding and Pie Filling ( NOT instant)
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 ½ cups blueberries pureed (1 cup)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 baked 9-inch pie shell cooled
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
- 3 ½ cups thawed Whipped Topping
Instructions
- Combine 1 package pie filling mix, ¼ cup of the milk, the pureed berries and cinnamon in a saucepan. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a full boil. Pour into crust; cover with plastic wrap and chill.
- Prepare remaining package pie filling mix with remaining milk as directed on package for pie. Add 1 teaspoon of the lemon rind; pour into bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill about 1 hour, until cold. Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping and spoon over blueberry layer.
- Combine remaining whipped topping and lemon rind. Spoon over filling. Freeze for 1 hour or chill in refrigerator 3 hours before serving. Garnish with blueberries and mint leaves, if desired.
Notes
- We freeze the pie and we take it out of the freezer about an hour before serving.
- We don't like having a partial container of whipped topping left over so we usually end up using all of the topping for the dessert - it won't negatively affect the pie at all 🙂
