Red White and Blueberry Pie
A Red White and Blueberry Pie! I’ve started the process of looking for Summer Time recipes and I found this very Patriotic Pie. I was going to wait until the 4th of July to post but thought to myself well Memorial Day is right around the corner so why not now. The Red is Raspberry the White is a cream cheese filling and of course, the Blue is blueberries in an 11” Pie crust. And oh man is it good. The Raspberries are slightly tart but the Cream Cheese and Blueberries more than balance it out. I find this pie to be extremely refreshing and perfect for any summer event you may have planned.

The white element of the pie is usually a creamy and smooth mixture that serves as a delightful contrast to the fruity layers. This can be achieved by using a variety of ingredients, such as whipped cream, vanilla pudding, or a mixture of cream cheese and powdered sugar.
Of course you could always substitute Strawberries in place of Raspberries. Your choice and either works nicely.
The Red White and Blueberry Pie is particularly popular during patriotic holidays in the United States, such as Independence Day on July 4th. Its colorful appearance and delicious taste make it a crowd-pleasing dessert, symbolizing the nation’s pride and love for its flag’s colors.
