Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup cold water
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 pinch lemon zest
• 1 refrigerated crust for a 9-inch pie
• 2.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 0.5 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press pie crust dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Poke small holes in dough with a fork.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Place cream cheese in a small microwave-safe bowl; heat on high to soften, about 20 seconds. Spread cream cheese in the bottom of crust. Layer 2 1/2 cups blueberries over cream cheese.

Step 4

Whisk cornstarch and water in a small bowl until dissolved. Stir cornstarch mixture, remaining 2 1/2 cups blueberries, sugar, and lemon zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat; simmer until thick, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 5

Spread blueberry mixture evenly in pie crust. Cool pie in refrigerator until set, at least 1 hour.
