Quick Blueberry Pie
A quick, refreshing blueberry pie with creamy milk and tangy lemon juice, perfect for summer gatherings or a light dessert that highlights fresh berries' natural sweetness.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the Eagle Brand milk and lemon juice together until thickened.
- Pour the thickened mixture over the blueberries and stir until all blueberries are covered with the milk mixture.
- Pour the blueberry mixture into a baked pie crust.
- Chill in the refrigerator and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the milk mixture. If you prefer a less sweet pie, substitute half of the Eagle Brand milk with plain yogurt or sour cream. Fresh blueberries are best, but frozen ones can also work—just make sure to thaw and drain them well before mixing to avoid excess moisture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent touch. It pairs beautifully with Museli Morning Bread Or Muffins for a delightful breakfast or brunch spread. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added color and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy the pie chilled, simply slice and serve straight from the fridge. If you want to serve it slightly warm, let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving, but be cautious not to leave it out for more than 2 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fruit for this pie?
Yes, you can replace blueberries with other berries like raspberries or strawberries, or even a mix of berries. Just keep in mind that the flavor and sweetness will vary, so adjust the lemon juice and milk accordingly to balance the taste.
Is it necessary to bake the pie crust beforehand?
Yes, pre-baking the pie crust helps to keep it crisp and prevents it from becoming soggy due to the moisture from the blueberries and milk mixture. Follow the instructions for your pie crust to achieve the best results.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! This pie is perfect for making ahead. Prepare it a day in advance and let it chill overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making it a great option for gatherings or special occasions.
