Ingredients
Crust
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust (9-inch)
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (plus more for garnish)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky filling.
- Mix Filling Ingredients: Add the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and has a creamy consistency.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and light, maintaining the airy texture.
- Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to distribute them evenly without crushing, preserving their shape and freshness.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the filling mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even layer.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is fully set and firm.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with additional whipped topping and fresh blueberries if desired for an attractive presentation and extra flavor.
Notes
- For a brighter citrus flavor, add more lemon zest or a splash of lemon extract to the filling.
- Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain them well before folding into the mixture.
- Serve this pie chilled for the best texture and flavor.
