I know I must have said it a thousand times, but I am IN LOVE with the lemon blueberry combo!

It wasn’t too many years ago that I didn’t really care for lemon flavored things. People would call me crazy! Then I made these Lemon Cookies and they literally changed everything for me. Lemon quickly became one of my favorite ingredients in desserts. It provides such a fresh flavor to anything its in.

This pie is absolutely perfect for summertime. The Blueberry Sauce on top of the Lemon Cream filling and homemade Graham Cracker Crust creates perfection in each and every bite.

This Lemon Blueberry Cream Pie NEEDS to be on your summertime baking list! It will be a huge hit whoever it goes!

    Such a pretty pie! You're right, lemons and blueberries make a great combo!

  2. Medeja

    So creamy! Looks amazing with the berries on top!

  4. Janet

    Have to try this pie! Just wondering - for the Filling, when you say to beat the whipping cream, how long do you beat it? Is it supposed to have soft or5 stiff peaks? Thank you, I am a novice cook & not really sure about how to do this right.

    1. Dorothy

      I'm wondering the same thing, Janet!?

    2. Fane

      Hi Janet,

      When I first made this pie the filling was quite running, even after 3 hours of refrigeration. BUT the good news is, that it was perfectly set up the next day. Just wanted to share this with you as you were wondering about beating the whipping cream. I didn't beat it for long - about one minute. I don't really know if you're supposed to beat the whipping cream until it starts to thicken. I didn't wait that long. It tastes amazing. I also doubled the amount of lemon juice in the Lemon Cream, but I like a strong lemon flavor.

      Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

      I have the same question. By the looks of the pie it's pretty soft. What I would do is whip the cream til stiff and set aside, beat the cream cheese then blend together. I'd also slowly add 1 Tb. gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup of water.

      So sorry about the confusion. It is stiff peaks :) I updated the recipe to say so now. Thanks for catching that!

    Does the whipping cream need to be beaten to soft or hard peaks before adding cream cheese and lemon ?

    My family and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dessert, however, I couldn't get the Lemon Cream to set up. Just like Janet's question, I'm a bit confused about the directions regarding beating the whipping cream. Not sure how long I am supposed to beat it before adding the cream cheese. That may have been where I went wrong. Not sure?? Can anyone help me??

    1. Chef in Training

      So sorry about the confusion. You beat until stiff peaks form :) I updated the recipe to say so now. Thanks for catching that!

    Looks awesome but beat whipping cream how long? Till soft peaks? Stiff? Any?

    1. Chef in Training

  12. Rebekah

    I mad this today and it was super delicious. I did however, add extra lemon juice because I needed a stronger lemon flavor. Thanks for a perfect summer dessert!!

  13. Mai

    Hey! What kind of sugar, white ganulated or brown, did you use? This looks great!

    1. Chef in Training

      I used white granulated :)

    I made this pie for the annual pie contest and WON!! Many compliments on how good the pie was. Thank you for sharing.

  15. Paul

    This sounds awesome. I'm going to make it for Memorial day. I'm a lemon fiend though. So I think I'll spread a thin layer of lemon curd over the crust before I put the lemon cream filling in.

    Made this for Memorial Day dessert today- subbed the graham cracker crust with an oat cookie dough crust (see momofuku crack pie recipe on Etsy for yummy crust idea). Taste blew my mind- light, creamy, and vibrant lemon and blueberry flavor. Best dessert of the year. I served it after an hour of refrigeration, and cream was not set, but still delish. Recommend it setting for 3-5 hrs, if not overnight for firmness and presentation. My family, however, could care less for presentation as long as it tastes yummy!

  17. Dana

    Oh such a tasty pie! Unfortunately it never set up.

      I added a packet of unflavored gelatin to the blueberry compote, and I whipped the cream to stiff peaks. I also added lemon zest to the crust (which I used crushed ginger snaps for instead of graham crackers) You really need to chill it overnight. Came out perfectly and everyone LOVED it!! thanks so much for sharing it!

    Hi! I have made this before and everyone loved it ( sorry no photo)! I want to make it again but with fat-free cream cheese instead of the regular. Will this work or cause problems? Has anyone tried it with fat-free cream cheese?

    1. Chef in Training

      Go of it! It shouldn't make any difference (Maybe slight flavor) but the end result should have the same consistency :)

  19. Shannon

    Wonderful flavors and consistency! My only tweet was to add a wee bit more suger, yellow food coloring and some lemon flavoring to the lemon cream.
