Pleasant to the taste buds, this lemon blueberry cream pie is always welcome, especially with warmer weather ahead!
Lemon Blueberry Cream Pie
Allow me to tell you about my creamy, lemony, newest addition to my recipe notebook.
I have made several desserts since I started blogging, but every time I make a new one, it always seems to take 1st place (until I make another new dessert).
Before THM, sweets and sugar were my downfall big time.
So I’m happy when I can eat a healthy dessert and not worry about it having a bad affect on my body!
Spring And Summer Foods
Isn’t it interesting how we as humans put certain foods with the different seasons of the year?
Spring we normally think about rhubarb, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, etc.
Summer means strawberries, peppers, cherries, green beans, melons and more!
Fall months are great for apples, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, turnips and swiss chard.
Lastly, Winter comes with foods like oranges, dates, brussel sprouts, pomegranates, etc.
Fresh And Fruity
I love the taste of fresh citrus and berries together!
Berries are such wonderful things in my home.
Treasuring them for myself is important because my three boys would devour them in one sitting. Ha!
Don’t get me wrong…I am very pleased my kids love fruit!
Thoughts Of Summer
As I was thinking of a new cream pie to create, thoughts of summer food were coming to my mind.
Lemon and blueberries go so well together and they are the perfect combination of summer flavors if you ask me!
Lemon Blueberry Cream Pie Isn’t For Everyone
If you are like my husband than I won’t take offense if you don’t care for the flavors in my pie.
That’s right, he has never really cared for fruit, especially berries.
He and my boys usually taste test everything I make, but I wasn’t going to force him to do it this time.
I’m not that insensitive…ha!
Other Cream Pies
If you haven’t already seen my other cream pies, you must take a quick peek at them when you’re through with this post!
I may just start a trend with cream pies. Who knows!
If you love the flavor of mint and chocolate, you will enjoy this mint chocolate chip cream pie.
Or maybe you’d rather have peanut butter? Why not make this peanut butter cream pie.
All of my cream pies are fairly simple to make, and they are all delicious!!
A Few Things You’ll Need To Make Lemon Blueberry Cream Pie
- blueberries
- lemons
- gelatin
- cream cheese
- sweetener
- heavy cream
- almond flour
- butter
What Sort Of Dish Should I Use?
Yes, I call this a cream “pie” so naturally you think of using a pie dish.
I use a pie dish like this one, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using another shaped pan or baking dish.
The filling is sturdy enough, but it’s very creamy so it may not make the perfect slice of pie.
It would work just fine to make this dessert in an 8×8 square dish and spoon it out instead!
