Lemony Blueberry Layered Pie

 
 
For my garden tea today, I've made a recipe that was in Good Housekeeping magazine and it's from Luckyleaf.com.  I'm serving it with iced blueberry green tea in my lemon glass from the Dollar Tree.  The snack plate is from our local Trade Days.

 
I filled a glass teapot with fresh lemons and used these unusual flowers I found at the grocery store.   The name of the flower is Eryngium, which I have never heard of.  Don't they look like star bursts?
 
 
If you like lemon, I think you'll love this recipe.  It's not as pretty as it could be, because we were too anxious to cut into it, and didn't let it set up the proper amount of time. 


1 graham cracker crust for a 9" pie, store bought or for homemade, check here
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 (3.4 oz.) box instant lemon pudding
2 t. Fresh lemon zest
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 (21 oz.) can blueberry pie filling

Combine cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix at medium speed for 1-2 minutes, until smooth.

Add pudding mix, lemon zest and lemon juice; mix until well blended.

Spoon about half of the pie filling into the bottom of the graham cracker crust. Spoon lemon filling on top and spread evenly. Cover and chill for at least an hour.

Spoon remaining pie filling on top just before serving.

I am sharing this with:

  1. Good Morning Kitty, I love lemon flavours, so this is going to be such a treat. I am the same, it is so hard to leave a desert to set before cutting into it. It is because we are excited to enjoy the flavours.
    Eryngiums are grown a lot here in England. They actually look lovely when mixed with cottage garden plants as the spikiness of the plant goes well with blousey plants.
    Enjoy the rest of your day.
    Best wishes

  3. I giggled about being too anxious to let it set. I would do the same thing! It looks and sounds delicious and so very summer-ish. There is something about lemons and summer.
    And those flowers really do look like starbursts.

  5. Welcome home, Kitty. Hating we didn't get to meet up. I am so sorry for that, totally my fault and if there is a next time I intend to get things firmly set in stone so we definately make it happen, that's a promise.

    This pie I know my husband would love- he hardly ever eats sweets but he would love lemon and blueberry, this I know! I am going to try it. Thanks again for another wonderful recipe.

    Yes those odd flowers look just like "bombs bursting in air!" Perfect for this table!

  8. Yummy, this will fill a lemon craving! So easy too and low calorie. :-) (hopeful) Your flowers are also known as Sea Holly - I used to have them in my garden but they seeded everywhere! They did make a nice addition when dried for an arrangement.

  9. Kitty, I love the combination of lemon and blueberry! The clear pitcher with lemons and sea holly is darling. I bought a sea holly plant at the garden fest last year. I hope you are enjoying Tea Day!

  23. I have made a pie similar to this in the past, and I discovered that it need to be in that freezer for more than an hour to set up right. Like you, I have NO patience when I know it's sitting in there...waiting for me...crying out to me...wanting me, too. :-) So mine turns on to the plate a big ol' mess everytime. Don't matter! I'm scarfin' it up no matter what it looks like!!!!!

    Lemons and blueberries together are so good! You have inspired me to do that pie again. I think I'll do it just before I have to leave the house to run a bunch of errands. That way it will set up nicely and I'll actually have a decent slice. Or not. I don't care. I just wanna eat it!!! It's delicious!!!!!!

    Oh...and I ALWAYS make the graham crust from scratch. Mine is much lighter, very buttery, and has more flavor than the store-bought. I do the same with pastry crusts. You didn't think I did that, did you? You thought I'd chicken out on that, didn't you? Nope! I actually enjoy it! It's therapy! Therapy AND science all in one to get the most perfect, flaky, buttery pie crust around! Surprise!!!
