Instructions

Prepare the Crust

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F
  • Crush the graham crackers: If using whole crackers, crush them in a food processor or place them in a Ziploc bag and smash them with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.

  • Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
    1/4 cup granulated sugar | 50g
  • Add melted butter: Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. The mixture will look crumbly.
    6 tablespoons melted butter | 85g
  • Press the crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. For best results, use the back of a measuring cup to press it evenly.
  • Bake the crust: Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Cool: Remove from the oven and let the crust cool.
  • Prepare the filling: While the crust is cooling, start preparing the filling.

Prepare the Filling

  • Beat the cream cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese for about 30 seconds to remove any lumps.

  • Incorporate the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition to ensure a smooth filling.

  • Pour and bake: Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust. Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
  • Cool to room temperature: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
  • Chill the pie: Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap (ensuring the wrap doesn’t touch the cream cheese surface) and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Add the Topping

  • Add the blueberry topping: Spoon the blueberry pie filling over the chilled cream cheese filling layer. Spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
