Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread blueberries evenly in the pie crust.
- In a small bowl, combine sour cream, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the sour cream mixture over the blueberries in the crust.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes or until the filling is set and edges are lightly browned.
- Allow the pie to cool and chill before serving.
- Garnish with whipped cream and additional berries if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh blueberries over frozen, but if frozen are your only option, make sure to thaw and drain them first. You can substitute the dairy sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist. If you want to add a hint of spice, consider mixing in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sour cream mixture.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is delightful on its own but pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. For a refreshing contrast, serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad. For a special touch, consider serving with a drizzle of raspberry sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, for up to 3 days. To maintain the crust's texture, reheat individual slices in a toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. Avoid microwaving as it can make the crust soggy.
