A simple and seasonal recipe, let yourself be tempted by this Blueberry pie ! A dessert full of fruit, on a crunchy shortcrust pastry with a creamy filling. Ideal for enjoying a beautiful blueberry harvest and delighting all gourmets...
What You'll Love About This Blueberry Pie Recipe
flavors : we find the good taste of fresh blueberries, with a touch of creaminess, and the good taste of shortcrust pastry with butter.
Texture : there are 3 different textures within this blueberry pie. A crunchy shortcrust pastry, a creamy flan-like texture, then cooked blueberries on top.
Difficulty level : nothing very complicated! The most technical gesture will be to prepare the homemade shortcrust pastry (even if it remains simple).
Ingredient details
- for the shortcrust pastry : the butter must be well softened, to create the sandy side. The water must be very cold so that the dough is not too sticky.
- for garnish : this blueberry pie is made with fresh blueberries. Avoid frozen blueberries otherwise they will release too much water during cooking... Nothing beats a beautiful blueberry harvest!
NB: the exact quantities are given to you in the detailed recipe at the bottom of the page.
How to make blueberry pie?
- Prepare the shortcrust pastry homemade: beat the butter and flour, then the icing sugar. Lastly, add the egg yolk and very cold water. After cooling, it is ready to be rolled out on a floured work surface.
- Bake the dough blind : this keeps the crunchy taste.
- Garnish with almond powder and fresh blueberries and cook for a few minutes.
- Finally, add the egg-cream-sugar-vanilla mixture then finish cooking.
Tips for a successful pie
- refrigerate the ball of shortcrust pastry for 30 minutes before lowering it: otherwise it might be a little sticky.
- wash and dry your blueberries well before placing them on the tart base: this avoids adding extra water to the filling.
- let the pie cool down then put it in the fridge before tasting it, I find it better that way.
How to store blueberry tart?
This blueberry pie is best kept in the refrigerator, in an airtight bell jar, for about 3-4 days.

- 225 g all-purpose flour
- 110 g softened butter
- 45 g icing sugar
- 1 Egg yolk
- 35 g very cold water
- 1 pinch of salt
- 60 g almond meal
- 2 eggs
- 100 g heavy whipping cream 30%
- 45 g light brown sugar
- 0,5 cc natural vanilla extract
- 480 g fresh blueberries Avoid frozen blueberries as they release water when cooked.
- Beat the softened butter, salt and flour until the mixture is sandy. Add the icing sugar and beat again. Then add the egg yolk and then the cold water. Mix until the dough forms and comes away from the side of the bowl.
- Form a slightly flattened ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180 ° traditional heat.
- Roll out the dough on a floured work surface (or between two sheets of baking paper). Grease a 24cm pie ring placed on a baking sheet then place the dough in the pie ring. Line the dough in the corners, pressing the sides well. Cut the excess from the top with a knife.
- Place a baking sheet on the dough and add ceramic balls (or dried beans). Bake for 12 minutes.
- Place the ground almonds on the pre-baked tart base. Add blueberries. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Beat eggs and brown sugar. Then add the cream and vanilla. Once the pie is out of the oven, pour this mixture over the blueberries. Bake for 25 minutes (watch the color of the dough as it varies depending on your oven). Leave to cool then place in the refrigerator before tasting.
It’s a beautiful, delicious tart!
Thank you Lady :)
Excellent !!
Thanks Aude! Glad you liked this blueberry pie! See you soon :)
Hello, I saw your recipe for blueberry pie and I said to myself "I really want to make it!
On the other hand, my partner is allergic to almond powder, should I replace it with something else or not adding it will ruin the pie?
Thanks for the recipe.
Hello Johanna, the almond powder acts as an absorbent for the liquid contained in the blueberries. You can replace it with hazelnut powder if you have some, or breadcrumbs (but the final taste will be a little different). See you soon :)
Hello! I love blueberry pie but I always add a good teaspoon of cinnamon!
Excellent ! You'll tell me what you think about it ???
Hello Martine, cinnamon is a very good idea, it's a flavor that not everyone likes, but if you love it, don't hesitate to add some. See you soon :)
Hello, Can I freeze this pie after baking? Thanks in advance.
Hello Anna, yes you can freeze your blueberry pie once cooked. Well wrapped and protected from humidity though. To enjoy it afterwards, defrost it for a long time in the refrigerator or put it in a low oven for a while. See you soon :)
Thank you for that great recipe .

Hello,
This recipe is as good as it is beautiful, I went to pick blueberries and what a treat to magnify them in this tart whose filling tempers the slight acidity of the cooked blueberries. The friends and I had a great time.

Hello!
The year spent in Chamonix was like a tart of blue moras deliciosa, and it was time to record this hermoso day. Tengo una duda, ¿Es necesaria la batidora para todo? Estoy acostumbrada a batir a mano, pero quiero saber sirá exitoso así o no.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings from Mexico
Hello ! You can do it without batidora, too, safe!
Hello
Is it possible to use a mix of fresh blueberries and blueberries in syrup? I have a jar and I don't know what to do with it…
Thank you for your advice!
Hello, yes I think it's possible by combining the two. See you soon :)
