Red, White, and Blueberry Cream Pie
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Who’s got big plans for the long holiday weekend? We’ve got dance recitals, weeding, and house remodeling projects on the agenda. And of course, have a cookout with friends! We love entertaining and back in March my friend Melanie showed up with this red, white, and blueberry cream pie to our Pi Day pie party. I immediately started hassling her to share the recipe with me because it was my favorite pie of the night. We love blueberries! Some of our favorite blueberry recipes are this Blueberry Custard Pie, Homemade Blueberry Pie, Easy No-Bake Blueberry Delight, and Homemade Blueberry Muffins with Crumb Topping. Fortunately, Melanie sent me the link to the original recipe on Taste of Home and even gave me her tip about swapping out the graham cracker crust for a biscoff cookie crust, which is basically the most genius move ever. Honestly, I don’t even think this pie would be the same with a graham cracker crust, even though my love of graham cracker crusts is strong. The other change I made from the original recipe was to make a homemade white chocolate pudding filling rather than picking up a package of pudding mix from the store. Not that I have anything against pudding mixes. I have just found that I prefer homemade pudding over the box stuff both in terms of flavor and texture, and I think they are fun to make anyway. The homemade version is richer with better white chocolate flavor and a more custard-like mouthfeel, in my opinion. But, since summer and it’s desserts tend to be all about ease and simplicity, I’m going to include the pudding mix variation in the notes just in case and totally encourage you to go for it, whether you choose to make the filling from scratch or not. Because honestly, I’ve had this pie made both ways and both are delicious. And speaking of summer, you will want to make this pie all day long. For Memorial Day in May, Flag Day in June, and Independence Day in July. Or don’t even wait for a holiday to celebrate! This pie is delicious anytime you can get great fresh berries!
Ingredients for Red, White, and Blueberry Cream Pie
biscoff cookies butter sugar white chocolate (I use bars of white chocolate since white chocolate chips don’t melt very well) cornstarch whole milk salt egg yolks vanilla heavy cream powdered sugar red & blue berries (any mix of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
How to Make Red, White, and Blueberry Cream Pie
I prefer a mix of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and halved strawberries, but you could go with just one blue and one red option if you like. You could even arrange them into a decorative flag pattern, which I’m sure would be cute and obviously even more patriotic. But then you don’t get bites of mixed berries in each slice of pie, which is a sacrifice I was not willing to make. I hope you enjoy this pie every bit as much as we did and that you have a wonderful holiday!
