This refreshing Lemon Blueberry Pie combines the tartness of fresh lemon juice and zest with the natural sweetness of blueberries, all enveloped in a creamy sweetened condensed milk filling set in a crunchy graham cracker crust. Perfect for a no-bake, easy-to-make dessert that is light, tangy, and ideal for warm weather gatherings.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 148 ml lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 175 g fresh blueberries
  • 370 ml sweetened full fat condensed milk
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)

Crust

  • 1 premade 9-inch graham cracker crust

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, ensuring a creamy texture with a well-balanced tartness.
  2. Add blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the lemon mixture, taking care not to crush them to keep their shape and burst of flavor intact.
  3. Fill the crust: Pour the blueberry-lemon filling evenly into the premade 9-inch graham cracker crust, spreading it gently so it settles smoothly.
  4. Smooth the top: Use a spatula to smooth the surface of the pie filling for an even finish.
  5. Chill the pie: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set and firm to the touch.
  6. Serve: Slice the chilled pie into portions and serve cold. Optionally, garnish each slice with additional fresh blueberries for an attractive presentation and extra freshness.

Notes

  • This pie requires no baking, making it a perfect quick and easy dessert.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for best flavor; bottled lemon juice will alter the taste.
  • Be careful when folding in the blueberries to keep them whole and visually appealing.
  • For a lighter version, you may substitute sweetened condensed milk with a low-fat variant, but the texture will be creamier with full fat.
  • Refrigeration time is essential to allow the filling to set properly.
  • Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
