Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla to the cream cheese.
- Beat until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
- Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours to set.
- Once set, decorate the top with blueberry pie filling.

Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a smoother filling, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before beating. If you prefer a sweeter pie, consider adding a bit of sugar or using a sweeter blueberry pie filling. For a fun twist, you can use a flavored graham cracker crust, like chocolate, which will complement the blueberry filling nicely. Similar to the Philly 3-Step Cheesecake Bars, this pie can also be made with a variety of fruit toppings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled, garnished with additional blueberry pie filling or fresh blueberries for a pop of color. This dessert pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a delightful meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad or as a sweet finish to a hearty dish like Baked Macaroni And Cheese With Sausage.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This pie is best served chilled. If you need to reheat it, allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving, but it’s recommended to enjoy it cold for the best flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh blueberries instead of blueberry pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh blueberries to create a homemade blueberry topping. Simply cook fresh blueberries with a little sugar and cornstarch until thickened. This will provide a fresher flavor and a unique texture compared to store-bought filling.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version of this pie, substitute the graham cracker crust with a gluten-free graham cracker alternative or a nut-based crust. Be sure to check the labels of all ingredients, such as the condensed milk and pie filling, to ensure they are gluten-free.
How long should I chill the pie before serving?
For the best results, chill the pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly. If you have more time, chilling it overnight will enhance the flavor and texture even further, making it easier to slice and serve.
