Total Time: 4 hrs 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold fresh blueberries into the whipped cream mixture, being careful not to crush the berries and maintaining the cream's light texture.
- Pour the blueberry cream mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula and ensuring a smooth top surface.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap does not touch the cream surface.
- Place the pie in the freezer and allow it to set for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is completely firm.
- Before serving, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and garnish with additional fresh blueberries or a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Tips
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the most intense flavor and best texture. If fresh aren't available, high-quality frozen blueberries can work too.
- When whipping the cream, ensure your bowl and beaters are chilled for faster and more stable peaks.
- Fold blueberries gently to prevent crushing and maintain the pie's beautiful appearance.
- For a perfectly smooth top, use an offset spatula when spreading the mixture into the crust.
- Wrap the pie carefully to prevent freezer burn and unwanted ice crystals.
- Let the pie sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
- For an extra touch, consider garnishing with fresh mint leaves or a light sprinkle of lemon zest before serving.
