Oregon Blueberries
Oregon is one of the top producing states for blueberries in the United States, which means, summertime is the perfect time to go blueberry picking at one of the many u-pick farm locations throughout the state.
I've gone twice this summer, and have baked so many delicious treats with them. This no bake blueberry pie recipe is one of my favorites!
Before the blueberry harvest ends, you must take the family out to your local u-pick farm. And be sure to pick extras, so you can freeze them and have delicious Oregon Blueberries even during the winter months!

Ingredients Needed
Here are some notes on the simple ingredients we'll be using. For the full ingredients list, look at the recipe card below.
- Graham Crackers: I used honey graham crackers.
- Butter: Use unsalted butter.
- Corn Starch: This helps to thicken the pie filling while cooking. If needed, you could use all-purpose flour instead.
- Blueberries: Fresh Oregon Blueberries are used to create this delicious pie!
- Heavy Whipping Cream: This is used to make the whipped cream. To make this recipe even easier, you could use Cool Whip instead.
Instructions
Here are the step by step instructions on how to make this easy homemade blueberry pie.
Step 1: Make the crust. Use a food processor to pulse the crackers into fine crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar.
Step 2: Freeze. Press the crumbs firmly down into a greased pie pan using your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup. Then gently press against the sides of the dish. Freeze until ready to use.
Step 3: Make the filling. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together the sugar, water, corn starch, and salt until fully combined. Then mix in 3 ½ cups of fresh blueberries.
Use a rubber spatula to occasionally stir the mixture until it starts to boil.
Step 4: Stir until thick. Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and keep stirring until the mixture is thick.
Step 5: Chill. Pour the filling into a heat-safe bowl, and fold in the remaining blueberries. Then pour over the prepared pie crust.
Chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
Step 6: Make the whipped cream. In a large bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, beat the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Decorate The Pie
Once the pie has set, add the whipped cream. I used a piping tip to decorate around the border of the pie. You could also use an offset spatula to spread the whipped topping over the entire pie.
Storage Tips
Keep any leftover pie slices in an airtight container or use plastic wrap to cover the whole pie plate. This pie will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Do not leave it out at room temperature or it will spoil.
Expert Baking Tips
- Pie Pan: Grease a 9.5-inch pie plate with cooking spray. This will make it a lot easier to remove each pie slice.
- Crust: When making the filling, be sure to freeze the crust. This helps the butter to solidify once again.
- Blueberry Mixture: Be sure to whisk the filling occasionally while it's cooking to avoid burning.
- Chill Time: The pie needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before decorating and serving.
Recipe FAQs
I love to make my own graham cracker crust because it's super easy! But, you could always buy one from the store if you prefer that option.
Absolutely! After you go blueberry picking, be sure to freeze some so you can make this pie even when it's no longer blueberry season.
