Here we are on March 14th again!   You know what that means, it’s Pi(e) Day!    Why is it Pi Day?   Well the mathematical constant pi starts with 3.14 which is the equivalent to March 14th.   That’s why every year on this date I celebrate by baking up a delicious pie.

I wish I made pies more often.   They are always so easy to make and are a favorite with my family.  I find that while I can only eat a sliver of cake I can usually have 2 pieces of pie and be happy about it.  There’s something about a flaky crust filled with a sweet filling that I just adore.

My favorite pies are fruit pies.  I love the sweet fruit paired with a buttery and flaky crust.  Over the years some of my favorite pies have been a lemon cheesecake pie, a lemon meringue pie, strawberry pie, and Dutch apple pie.   I particularly like lemon in my pies so it’s no surprise that this year I made yet another pie with lemon in it.

Happy Pie Day!   Celebrate with this easy to make and totally delicious Blueberry Lemon Cream Pie with graham cracker crust!

This pie is really easy to make.   The crust is a graham cracker crust which is one of my favorite homemade pie crusts because of how easy it is to make.   The crust is topped off with a fluffy lemon cream cheese mixture that is bright and delicious.  It’s all topped off with a homemade blueberry topping.

Love the bright and flavorful Lemon Cream filling in this pie!

The blueberry topping is a cross between blueberry jam and blueberry pie filling.   It’s fairly thick and many of the blueberries are still whole.  It’s poured over top of the lemon cream filling and then the entire pie is chilled.   The combination of the tart lemon with the sweet blueberries is pure bliss.
