Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp light butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener of choice

For the filling:

  • 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (or sweetener)
  • ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the blueberry topping:

  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • 1–2 tsp sugar or sweetener, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely.

2. Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy. Spread the filling evenly into the cooled crust.

3. Make the Blueberry Topping
In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, water, lemon juice, and sugar over medium heat. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until berries begin to release their juices. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook another minute, until thickened. Cool slightly.

4. Assemble the Pie
Spoon the cooled blueberry topping over the cream filling. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
