This blueberry cream cheese pie has a creamier and softer texture than a normal cheesecake and a whole grain cookie crust!

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) unrefined sugar or granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (140 grams) whole wheat pastry flour

Filling:

  • 8 ounces (225 grams) full-fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) unrefined sugar or granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg 50 grams, out of shell
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 lemon zest
  • pinch salt
  • 3 cups (450 grams) blueberries fresh or frozen (do not thaw if using frozen!)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons unrefined sugar or granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
    1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (100 grams) unrefined sugar
  • Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, salt and 1/2 cup of the flour. Beat well and then add in the rest of the flour.
    1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (140 grams) whole wheat pastry flour
  • Continue beating this mixture until well combined.
  • Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9" deep dish pie pan.
  • Using a fork, poke holes in the dough, about 1" apart.
  • Bake for 15 minutes and then remove the pie crust from the oven.
  • While the crust is baking, prepare the filling.
  • Beat the cream cheese until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
    8 ounces (225 grams) full-fat cream cheese
  • Add the Greek yogurt, sugar, egg, vanilla, lemon zest, salt and beat until very well combined. Set this aside.
    1/2 cup (118 ml) plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup (50 grams) unrefined sugar, 1 large egg, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 lemon zest, pinch salt
  • In a large bowl, very carefully combine the blueberries, cornstarch, sugar, and lemon juice.*

  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the bottom of the crust and use a silicone spatula to make it as even as possible.
  • Then spoon the blueberries over the cream cheese mixture, again spreading them out as evenly as possible.
  • Bake for 35 minutes (also at 350 degrees F) or until the center is almost set and remove from the oven to cool completely.
  • Once the pie is completely cool, place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 - 6 hours before serving.*
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • I thought that it'd make more sense to combine the cornstarch, sugar and lemon juice first and then add this to the blueberries. That didn't work. It was just a lump of cornstarch. So do it like it says in the directions for a less frustrating experience. :)
  • Trust me, this doesn't taste very good while warm! Let it chill thoroughly.
