Creamy Blueberry Pie
Creamy Blueberry Pie has a layer of custard made with sour cream , not milk, that makes it not only creamy and blueberry delicious, but very easy to make.
I made a blueberry pie that is a little different today and absolutely delicious. It’s a great summer pie and a fantastic way to use fresh or frozen thawed and drained blueberries. It’s creamy because it has sour cream in the custard portion of the pie.
Yes, sour cream not milk. You don’t taste the sour cream, which allows the blueberries to come shining through! The sour cream just makes it creamy. Let’s get baking, we’re going make a Creamy Blueberry Pie!
The Steps to Make Creamy Blueberry Pie
First, we need a 9-inch pie crust, I always put a baking sheet under the crust when it has the filling in it and it’s ready to bake. I do it with all pies just because well…just in case.
Make a homemade pie crust or buy a premade pie crust. I also used frozen blueberries thawed under warm water and drained well. Get your pie crust ready and place 3 cups blueberries in the bottom of it.
Next time I make this I think I’m going to add a little lemon juice to the mix, maybe a teaspoon. Lemon and blueberry go so well together and it always brightens up the taste of blueberries.
Our final step is to make the streusel topping and sprinkle it over top of the custard filling. Set your oven at 350 degrees and bake 50 minutes. I put foil over the top of the pie for the first 20 minutes of baking to keep the crust from getting to brown.
Cool completely on a wire rack. After mine was cooled I refrigerated it, it’s so good cold!! This was so easy to make and so very GOOD!!! Switch out the berries to suit what you have. You can’t go wrong with this pie! Enjoy!

This pie is amazing I made it for “pi” day last Friday and it was the first pie gone in the office !
I am absolutely thrilled to hear that Anonymous! Thank you so much for coming back to tell me! WHOOT! LOVE IT!!
I want to double this and make two pies for the 4th (nothing more american than home made pie!) I’d like to bake them at the same time. Any tips, should the baking time stay the same with two pies in the oven? My oven runs a little hot.
Good morning Anonymous, The baking time would stay the same, the time they’re in the oven may be slightly longer but if your oven runs hot that might take care of that. Start checking the pies about 10 minutes before the bake time is up (because your oven runs hot) and check for doneness. let me know how it goes for you!
Oh WOW!!! This is the BEST blueberry pie I’ve ever made! My son and I made this July 4th weekend and it’s definitely a keeper. I just discovered your blog recently and now it’s bookmarked. Thanks for the new family favorite! 🙂
I just made this for a church get together. I used both peach and blueberry and it came out so beautifully! Thank you so much for this recipe!
Ok, made one this morning. First time I have made anything with custard and I think I must have goofed it up. We haven’t cut into it yet but it’s jiggly as all get out (and been ‘setting up’ for almost 3 hours). I baked it a little over an hour because it just didn’t look done to me, but how the heck do I tell? LOL And I didn’t get layers, it all pretty much hooped together. Smells great and hubby is going to try a piece when he gets home, but for future reference — what the heck did I do wrong?
Cate McC, Fresh or frozen berries? If they were frozen were they thawed out first? I would love to help figure out what happened!
I used fresh blueberries and it came out AMAZING! Probably one of the best blueberry pies I’ve ever made. Even my boyfriend loved it, and he’s hard to please. Thank you again for this wonderful recipe!
They were fresh. I washed and rinsed them and patted them dry. We just cut into it (decided to do that before the company got here, LOL) and it was totally runny and hubby said it had no taste. Is in the trash. Damn! I will try again, just not tonight…haaahaa! The kicker is that I don’t like blueberries and I don’t like custard — this was for hubby and our friends. I joked that it knew I didn’t want it…ROTFL! Will review everything and see what the heck I did. If I see anything, I will let you know, otherwise I will be trying again maybe this coming weekend. I’m usually a really good baker, but when I mess up I go full tilt. Grrrrrrrr.
I wish I knew what happened Cate! I hate it that something went wrong. If you don’t care for blueberries and you want to try it again theres a Peach Cream Pie that’s made the same way but with peaches. If you try it again, email me and we’ll go over the recipe together before you try it. [email protected]
Thank you Allison!!! There’s also a Peach Cream Pie made the same way if you’d like to try that one!
I made this yesterday and it was fantastic! I usually am horrible at pie-making, but this one was delicious! I brought it into work this morning and it’s gone already. I think my co-workers approved! Thanks for sharing this fantastic recipe!
scarriemom thank you soooo much for coming back to tell me you made it and loved it! It made my day!!
I think that I will be making this today for my birthday!
And since it is my birthday, I may not even share!!
lol
Happy Birthday Anonymous! You share today with my grandaughter who is 2! Hope you have a great one and enjoy the pie!!
Happy Birthday, Birthday twin! it’s also mine! Just wanted to say I found this recipe via Pinterest and it worked out perfectly. I had gone blueberry picking that morning and so we used fresh blueberries. it was amazing and everyone loved it when i brought it in for a coworker’s birthday! Thanks for sharing!
Hello, do you think I could replace the blueberries with blackberries?
Yes Anonymous, I think any berry would do well. If frozen blackberries, thaw and drain well. Let me know how it goes for you!
Thank you for posting this recipe. I made it today and it received a thumbs up from hubby.
I made few minor changes to your base recipe. I added 1 teaspoon vanilla to the custard mixture, and a wee bit of cinnamon to the crumbs )about 1/2 teaspoon– just enough to give it a subtle kick — barely noticeable. With a deeper pie dish I also increased the berries.
Keep posting the yummy stuff!
