Ingredients
- Blueberry Filling:
- 1/2 package refrigerated pie crust (I like Pillsbury brand)
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons granulated no-calorie sweetener (sweetener tips**)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 cups fresh blueberries
Preparation
Step 1
1. Prepare a 9” baked one-crust pie crust according to package directions. Let cool while preparing the filling.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Set aside. Place the frozen blueberries and 2/3 cup water in a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a low simmer over medium-high heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring and mashing some of the berries until they have softened and sauce slightly thickens.
3. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan along with the sweetener, sugar, and zest. Bring to a simmer, cook for 1 minute, or until the mixture clears. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh berries. Spoon the filling into the pie crust and chill for 2 hours before serving.
**If using Truvia Baking Blend (calories and points remain the same) use 1/4 cup and omit the additional 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
