The Recipe How-To

“The perfect combination of sweet and tangy.”

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • Mix 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup of sugar.
  • Stir in 6 tablespoons of melted butter and press mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.

Banana Cream Cheese Filling:

  • Beat 8 ounces of cream cheese that is softened at room temperature until it’s fluffy.
  • Add 1/2 cup sugar and continue beating until well combined.
  • Fold in 3 sliced bananas.
  • Spread the mixture evenly in the cooled graham cracker crust.

Blueberry Banana Cream Pie:

  • Pour 1 can (21 ounces) of blueberry pie filling over the banana cream cheese filling.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes or until the filling easily moves when you shake the pie plate gently.
  • Let cool completely before placing it in the refrigerator for at least an hour to set.

Whipped Topping:

  • In a large bowl, gently beat one envelope of whipped topping mix with cold milk following package directions.
  • add a tablespoon of sugar and constantly beat until light and fluffy.
  • Spread whipped topping over cooled pie filling.

Optional:

Garnish with fresh blueberries or canned cherries on top of the whipped cream.

Substitutions and Variations

“Indulge in this irresistible blueberry banana pie.”

The great thing about this blueberry banana pie recipe is that it’s easy to customize according to your preferences. Here are some possible substitutions and variations that you can try:

– Crust: While the graham cracker crust complements the fruity filling well, you can also use a pre-made pie shell or a different type of crust such as shortbread, vanilla wafer, or Oreo cookie.

– Filling: If you don’t have blueberry pie filling, you can substitute it with other fruit fillings such as cherry, raspberry, strawberry, or mixed berries. If you want to make it from scratch, simply cook fresh or frozen blueberries with sugar and cornstarch until thickened.

– Cream cheese: If you prefer a less tangy flavor, you can swap cream cheese for mascarpone cheese or whipped cream cheese. You could also try using cottage cheese blended until smooth if looking for a different texture.

– Bananas: You can adjust the amount of bananas to your liking. If you don’t like them too ripe and mushy, use firmer bananas or reduce the quantity. Alternatively, you could add other fruits such as sliced peaches or diced apples for extra texture and sweetness.

– Whipped topping: Instead of using store-bought whipped topping like Dream Whip®, you could substitute it with stabilized whipped cream(whipping cream + cornstarch) or homemade whipped cream (heavy whipping cream + sugar).

– Sweetness level: You could adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to suit your preferred level of sweetness. For those who find cream cheese pies too sweet, decreasing the added sugar amount will help.

Remember that experimentation is key when cooking- so be fearless and customized according to what ingredients you have already at home!

Serving and Pairing

“A feast for both the eyes and taste buds.”

When it comes to serving and pairing this delicious blueberry banana pie, there are many options that will take its taste to the next level.

First and foremost, serve this heavenly dessert cold, as the flavors will meld together perfectly. A dollop of freshly whipped heavy cream or vanilla ice cream on top will add an extra layer of decadence.

For a more elegant presentation, garnish each slice with a few fresh blueberries or banana slices. You can also drizzle a little bit of melted dark chocolate over the top for an indulgent treat.

This blueberry banana pie goes well with a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate in the winter months. Alternatively, it pairs well with a glass of milk or a cold glass of lemonade in the summer.

Finally, you can make an eye-catching dessert spread by serving this pie alongside other cream pies like coconut cream or banana cream. These combinations make for a beautifully themed dessert buffet that your guests won’t be able to resist.

Overall, serving and pairing this blueberry banana cream cheese pie is all about creating a sensory experience through appealing presentation and complementary tastes.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

“A treat fit for any occasion.”

It’s always nice to have the option of preparing a dish in advance, and this blueberry banana pie recipe is no exception. Luckily, this pie can be made ahead of time and still taste fresh and delicious when it’s served.

To make the process a little easier, I recommend preparing the crust and pie filling separately. Allow both to cool completely before assembling and adding the whipped topping. Once it’s fully assembled, the pie should be stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

If you have any leftovers (although it’s unlikely there will be any!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. It’s important to note that the longer the pie sits in the refrigerator, the softer the crust may become due to the moisture from the fruit filling.

When reheating individual slices, I suggest placing them on a plate and heating them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Alternatively, if you prefer a warm slice of pie with slightly crispy crust, you can reheat it in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.

Overall, making this blueberry banana pie ahead of time and storing it properly is an easy way to save time without compromising its quality or taste.

Tips for Perfect Results

“One bite of this pie and you’ll be in blueberry banana bliss.”

To make a perfect Blueberry Banana Pie, attention to detail is crucial. Here are some tips to help you achieve a delicious outcome that will satisfy your tastebuds:

1. Soften your cream cheese properly: Softening cream cheese before use helps it blend smoothly, giving the pie a velvety texture. Leave your cream cheese at room temperature for an hour, or microwave it in ten-second intervals until soft. Resist the urge to melt it completely as this alters the consistency of the pie.

2. Chill the filling before topping with whipped cream: Letting the pie chill for at least two hours before adding whipped cream prevents its melting and making a mess.

3. Use ripe bananas and blueberries: Bananas develop natural sweetness as they ripen, while ripe blueberries have more juice, resulting in a softer pie filling with better flavor.

4. Don’t overload your crust: Overloading the crust with filling leads to a soggy bottom crust that will ruin your pie. Stick to the ingredient measurements provided.

5. Whip your cream stiffly: Stiffly whipped cream holds its shape better on top of the pie and looks visually appealing.

6. Use heavy whipping cream: Using heavy whipping cream rather than regular cream or half-and-half gives you stiffer whipped cream and more satisfying flavor, adding richness to the dessert.

By following these tips, you will make an outstanding Blueberry Banana Pie that will make your taste buds sing with joy!

Bottom Line

In conclusion, this blueberry banana pie recipe is a sure winner for any dessert lover. It has a perfect balance of sweetness from the blueberries and bananas and creaminess from the cream cheese. It’s a great way to enjoy your fruits in a dessert form that can serve as an icebox dessert or as the perfect end to your summer meal.

With easily accessible ingredients and simple steps to follow, anyone can make this easy blueberry banana cream cheese pie recipe. The great thing about this recipe is that you can switch up some of the ingredients to make it your own, whether it be adding some fresh cherries or substituting a graham cracker crust for pastry shells.

So go ahead and give this blueberry banana pie recipe a try. Your taste buds will thank you, and your guests will be impressed. It’s a dessert that’s easy to make but packed with deliciousness that everyone will love. Trust me; you won’t regret it!
