Best Fresh Blueberry Pie Recipe for A Healthy Holiday Dessert

If you are a huge fan of fresh blueberries pie, then here’s an easy recipe that cooks in minutes and takes an hour of cooling time in the fridge. While you are getting ready for your dinner gathering, your dessert will be patiently waiting for you.

For the fans of fresh berries, check out this Mixed Berry Tarts dessert.

I love fresh berries and do my best to incorporate them into our daily meals. Be it smoothies, salads or desserts, the berries that are in-season are the best! My all-time favorites are blueberries. I freeze them and then use the tiny frozen delights as my snacks.

How to make blueberry pie with fresh berries:

The recipe for a blueberry pie is super easy. You can opt for a store-bought pie crust or make your own. If you are in a hurry and need your dessert quickly, then choose the pie dough from the store.

This is my most favorite dessert among my guests Blueberry Mini Cheesecakes with Raspberry Sauce.

Spread and cut the crust according to your pie baking dish. Use a fork to pinch the edge of the pie. It will look like a homemade crust.

While the pie crust is baking in the oven, you will prepare your fresh blueberry pie filling. There’s a delicious trick to keep the berries together in a pie by using a heated apricot preserve. Don’t worry that it will give a weird taste to blueberries. In fact, you will hardly notice it’s there!

What makes this blueberry pie filling recipe unique is its combination with the mascarpone cheese. Actually, I use equal amounts of cream cheese and mascarpone cheese to give the pie a creamy, but light flavor.

When you combine add mascarpone and blueberry filling to the baked and cooled pie crust, place this holiday dessert into the refrigerator for at least an hour to cool and to taste heavenly.

Why I Use Coconut Sugar in My Baking and Cooking

There are two great reasons to use Coconut Sugar in your baking and cooking overall.

First, coconut sugar is a Low Glycemic food. It simply means that it prevents high up and down spikes in your blood sugar. With that, you will have less cravings and reaching out to satisfy them with junk food options.

Second, it tastes heavenly and does not alter any recipe’s flavor. But some brands offer more delicious coconut sugar than others. Here are my favorites for the Organic, Gluten Free, Non-GMO options (as an Amazon affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases, thank you):
