How to make no bake blueberry pie
1. Prep the crust
If you don’t make your own crust, then open up the package for the graham cracker crust. You can transfer that to your own pie tin to make it sturdier when serving the pie.
Otherwise, follow the recipe to make your own crust and set it aside.
2. Cook the blueberries
When your crust is ready, pour the blueberries, corn starch, and sugar into a medium sized pot.
Turn the heat to medium-low and stir as it cooks.
As the blueberries heat, they will start to burst, releasing their juices into the pot. The sugar should start to dissolve into the liquid.
Cook until the blueberries have all burst and the liquid starts to thicken.
3. Finish the pie
When the blueberries have finished cooking, pour them while they are still warm into the prepared pie crust.
Allow it to cool for a few minutes, cover, and then place in the fridge.
The no bake blueberry pie will thicken as it cools.
Garnish with whipped cream, fresh blueberries, or your favorite toppings before serving the pie.
Storing
No bake blueberry pie is the perfect make ahead dessert.
You should serve it chilled, so placing it in the fridge works fine for it.
The unbaked blueberry pie should store for about 4 to 5 days in the fridge as long as you keep it covered.
FAQs
Should I Prebake my pie crust for blueberry pie?
When you make no bake blueberry pie, you do not need to prebake your pie crust if you got it from a store.
If you use our recipe, you will need to bake it at 350 for about 8 minutes before making the blueberry filling.
How do you keep blueberry pie from being runny?
We use corn starch to help thicken the pie filling as it cooks and cools. You could also use flour if you prefer or another form of starch to help it thicken.
What is blueberry pie filling made of?
Our simple blueberry pie filling is made with fresh blueberries, sugar, and corn starch. Other recipes may add seasonings, like lemon zest, or water. We find that the blueberries release enough moisture without having to add water.
Tips and Tricks
When you make no bake fresh blueberry pie, you can follow these tips and tricks to help it turn out perfect every time.
- If you want to make this a lighter treat, you can use a sweetner instead of sugar.
- If the blueberry filling gets too thick on the stovetop, you can stir in a small amount of water – about a tablespoon at a time – to thin it out. You don’t want it too thin, or it will not hold its shape when cut.
- The blueberry filling will thicken as it cools. It should be a thick fluid when you pour it into the pie crust.
- For best results, make your own graham cracker crust.
