How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Cookie Pie
Making your own Blueberry Cheesecake Cookie Pie is simple and enjoyable. Just follow these easy steps:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (reserve 1 tablespoon for greasing the pan)
- 1 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 7 oz white chocolate, chopped into small chunks (reserve some for the top)
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda and all-purpose flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add the egg and mix well. Gradually mix in the flour mixture in two additions. Fold in the white chocolate chunks, reserving some for the top.
- Divide the dough in half. Press one half into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish.
- On a piece of parchment paper, shape the other half of the dough into a circle the size of the pie dish. Place it in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and corn starch until smooth. Gently fold in the blueberries using a rubber spatula.
- Spread the cheesecake filling over the cookie crust in the pie dish. Take the chilled cookie dough circle and carefully invert it over the filling. Press the edges to seal. Add extra blueberries and white chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, tenting the top with aluminum foil if it starts to brown too quickly. Baking time may vary based on your dish.
- Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. For an extra treat, serve with a scoop of ice cream!
