Note

For best results, use fresh blueberries if available, but frozen berries work well too—do not thaw frozen berries before adding to the mixture.

The pie must be refrigerated to set properly. Plan ahead to allow at least 2 hours of chilling time.

If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the cream topping with coconut cream and ensure the pie crust is vegan.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
