Tips

While this recipe is super easy, there are a few things to remember that will make it even easier and ensure that you make the absolute best blueberry muffin cheesecake pie possible. Be sure you don’t skip this section!

Don’t Overmix the Crust Dough

Don’t go overboard when cutting your shortening into the flour mixture. You want your dough to be coarse before adding the wet ingredients. It helps give the crust its great texture. If you overmix, your crust won’t come out correctly.

Thoroughly Soften the Cream Cheese

Whenever you combine cream cheese with anything, you want it to be fully softened. If you don’t fully soften your cream cheese, you’ll end up with lumps because the cream cheese won’t be able to fully combine with your other ingredients. This will change both the flavor and texture of your mixture.

Use a Ziploc Bag to Drizzle the White Chocolate

When topping the pie with the melted white chocolate, using a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped out will make things much easier on you. It acts as a piping bag, giving you more control over your application of the chocolate.

Variations

This is a blueberry muffin cheesecake pie, but you can turn it into almost any kind of fruit variation you want. Of course, all berries will play well in this sandbox, but even apples will work amazingly well. Just cook up the apples with a bit of cinnamon and sugar before mixing with the cream cheese mixture. Let the apple mixture cool, of course.

Serving Blueberry Muffin Cheesecake Pie

To serve this pie, all you need is a plate and a fork. Everything you need in a great dessert is already in the pie, so there’s no need for extra toppings. Simply cut a piece and serve it up!

This pie is the perfect dessert for a weekend dinner, family get-togethers, and potlucks. It’s a welcome addition to any gathering!

Storing Blueberry Muffin Cheesecake Pie

This pie will keep well in the refrigerator for up to four days. For longer storage, you can freeze this pie for up to one month. To serve simply cut a slice and allow it to defrost in the refrigerator for a few hours. You can even serve it frozen!

FAQ

Why is my blueberry filling lumpy?
The most likely cause is that you didn’t fully soften your cream cheese. If you don’t soften your cream cheese completely, it won’t be able to fully combine with the other ingredients, and you’ll end up with lumps. But once in the oven and cooked it will still be as tasty as can be!

Why is my pie dough so crumbly?
If your pie dough is sandy or crumble, you overmixed the shortening when you were cutting it into the flour. Remember, only cut in the shortening until the flour beings to look like small peas.

Can I use other fruit in this recipe?
Absolutely. Any berry will work well in this recipe. You can even use apples if you like.

How long will this pie last?
This blueberry muffin cheesecake pie will keep well in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for about four days.
