Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • ¼ cup water

  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk

  • ½ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  • 3 egg yolks

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.

  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan.

  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

2. Make the Blueberry Layer:

  1. In a small saucepan, stir together blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water.

  2. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until berries burst and the sauce thickens.

  3. Allow to cool slightly, then spread evenly over the crust.

3. Whip Up the Lemon Filling:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg yolks until smooth.

  2. Pour over the blueberry layer and bake for 15 minutes, or until the lemon layer is just set.

  3. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

4. Make the Whipped Topping:

  1. In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.

  2. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled lemon layer right before serving
