Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir the sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice together until the mixture thickens.
- Fold in the Cool Whip or whipped cream until well combined.
- Gently mix in the washed blueberries.
- Spoon the mixture into a prepared graham cracker crust.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Top with additional Cool Whip before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the filling. If you want to reduce sweetness, use unsweetened whipped cream instead of Cool Whip. For a twist, try mixing in some lemon zest along with the lemon juice. Ensure the blueberries are fresh for the best taste; frozen can work but may alter the texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled and consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. This pie also goes well with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad. For a fun twist, serve alongside a slice of Raspberry Pie for a mixed dessert platter that will impress guests.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pie is best enjoyed cold, so there's no need to reheat it. If you want to serve it later, keep the whipped topping separate until just before serving to maintain its texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh fruit instead of canned blueberries?
Absolutely! Fresh blueberries are ideal for this pie and will give it a vibrant flavor and beautiful appearance. Be sure to wash and dry them thoroughly before adding them to the filling to prevent excess moisture.
How can I make this pie healthier?
To make a lighter version, use light sweetened condensed milk and fat-free whipped topping. You can also opt for a whole grain crust instead of traditional graham cracker crust to boost the nutritional value.
Is it possible to freeze the blueberry creme pie?
Yes, you can freeze the pie for up to 2 months. However, the texture of the whipped topping may change. To serve, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before enjoying. It's best to add fresh whipped topping just before serving for optimal texture.
