Step 2: Cut the pie crust into 1-inch strips and make a lattice
Cut the pie crust into 1-inch strips, and make a lattice out of the pie crust, weaving the strips. Place the spring form from the pan on top of the lattice, and cut around the outside of the pan with a sharp knife.

Remove the pie crust not in the lattice, and sprinkle sugar on the Lattice.
Place the cookie sheet in the oven at 425 for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pie crust is golden brown.

Remove from the oven to cool, and set aside. When cool, store in a pie container until time to place on cheesecake.

📝Variations
Do you want to change up this blueberry cheesecake pie recipe and make it your own? Here are some ways that you can do that!
- Add a different pie filling: If you don’t like blueberry, or want to change it up, you can use a different pie filling. Strawberry, raspberry, and cherry would all be good choices.
- Add a topping: This Blueberry Pie Cheesecake is delicious as is, but if you want to dress it up a bit, you could add a topping. Whipped cream or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream would be good choices.

🥫 Storage
This pie should be stored in the freezer. Cheesecake can last up to 2 months in the freezer if it is wrapped well. I like to wrap mine in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag. This will help keep it fresh.
When you are ready to serve, remove from the freezer and let thaw for about 30 minutes. Remove the springform pan, and place it on a serving plate. Top with blueberry pie filling and serve. Enjoy!
💭 Tips
Here are a few tips to help you make this blueberry pie cheesecake recipe perfectly.
- Make sure that the cream cheese is softened before you begin. This room temperature cream cheese will make it easier to mix and will prevent lumps in the cheesecake.
- Be sure to use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cream. This will take some time, but it is worth it. The whipped cream will make the cheesecake light and fluffy.
- Do not overmix the filling. Once you have added all of the ingredients, mix just until they are combined. Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to be tough.
- Instead of graham crackers, you can use vanilla wafers for the crust if you prefer.
⁉️ FAQ
Do you have questions about this blueberry pie cheesecake recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
This is a great question! Cheesecake can be considered a pie because it has a crust and a filling. However, it is also considered a cake because it is made with cream cheese. So, I guess the answer to this question is that it depends on how you look at it!
Yes! If you have a favorite recipe for pie crust, feel free to use it in this recipe. You will need enough for one 9-inch pie crust.
