Ingredients
Instructions
- Follow the directions for preparing the vanilla pudding.
- Remove the pudding from heat and stir in 2 cups of blueberries.
- Pour the mixture into a graham cracker pie shell or a cooked pie shell.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before topping with Cool Whip if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
When making the pie, consider using a sugar-free vanilla pudding mix to keep the recipe sugar-free. Frozen blueberries can be a great substitute if fresh ones aren't available; just thaw them beforehand. For a crunchier texture, you could also mix in some crushed nuts into the filling or use a nut-based crust instead of graham crackers. This pie can be made ahead of time for gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled, topped with a dollop of Cool Whip for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh whipped cream or a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream. This dessert is perfect for a summer gathering or as a light treat after a hearty meal, such as the Save-Your-Marriage Supper.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep the graham cracker crust from getting soggy, store the filling and crust separately and assemble just before serving. While reheating is not typically necessary, if desired, serve at room temperature or briefly chill in the fridge before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fruit in this pie?
Yes, you can easily substitute blueberries with other berries like raspberries or strawberries. Just ensure that the fruit is fresh or thawed if using frozen. Different fruits can change the flavor profile of the pie, making it a versatile dessert option.
Is it necessary to use a pie shell?
While a pie shell provides structure, you can also serve the pudding mixture in individual cups for a no-bake dessert option. Simply layer the filling and berries in cups, chill, and serve without a crust for a lighter alternative. This makes for a great presentation at gatherings.
How can I make this pie more nutritious?
To increase the nutritional value, consider adding chia seeds or ground flaxseed to the pudding mix for added fiber and omega-3s. You can also use whole grain graham crackers for the crust or swap in a nut-based crust to boost the healthy fats in the dessert.
