Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 3- ounce package cream cheese or mascarpone
  • 1 9 " pastry shell
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • Whipped cream

Instruction

  • Soften the cream cheese or mascarpone while you bake the pastry shell according to directions. Let the pie shell completely cool. Spread the cream cheese on the base of the pie shell.
  • ALTERNATIVE: Make your own crust! Follow the instructions for baking it. Make sure it's completely cooled before spreading the cream cheese on the base.
  • Fill the shell with 3 cups of blueberries.
  • Combine the remaining cup of blueberries with the water in a small or medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer for 4 - 5 minutes. Strain, reserving all of the juice. Mash the berries to get all the juice out. Discard the berries.
  • Combine the sugar and corn starch in the same small pot over medium high heat. Gradually whisk in the reserved blueberry juices. Cook, whisking constantly until thick and clear. Cool slightly and stir in the lemon juice.
  • Pour the syrup over the berries in the pastry shell. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Serve with whipped cream.
