Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using low-fat cream cheese mixed into the pudding. If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can add a sugar substitute like stevia to taste. Be sure to use fresh blueberries when in season for the best flavor, or try other berries as an alternative, such as raspberries or blackberries.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie with a dollop of the prepared D-Zerta whipped topping for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with a glass of Leconte Sunrise Juice for a refreshing contrast. For a fun twist, consider drizzling a bit of honey on top for natural sweetness, or serve it alongside a scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain the crust's texture, it's best to eat the pie chilled rather than reheated. If you prefer it slightly warm, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
