ICEBOX BLUEBERRY PIE
From an old Farm Journal cookbook & adjusted a bit. If you can get fresh or your own frozen blueberries it'll be so much better, but frozen store-bought berries are good too. Pre-bake the pie crust according to your own recipe or the package directions, since the pie filling is cooked and put into the shell with no further baking. Cool, refreshing and looks stunning on a cookout dessert table!

Steps:
- Use 2 cups blueberries to line the bottom of the pie shell.
- Put remaining 2 cups berries in a medium saucepan along with sugar and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly until thickened. (If the sauce looks too thick, add up to 1/4 cup water - it really depends on the juiciness of the berries). Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Carefully pour sauce over the berries in the pie shell. Chill until ready to serve.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh blueberries. Frozen blueberries can be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
- If you don't have a 9-inch pie plate, you can use an 8-inch pie plate instead. Just reduce the amount of filling and crust ingredients by about one-fourth.
- You can use any type of graham cracker crumbs for the crust. Chocolate graham cracker crumbs would be a delicious option.
- If you don't have any heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the pie will not be as rich and creamy.
- Be sure to chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the crust to set.
Conclusion:
Blueberry icebox pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for summer. It is made with a simple graham cracker crust, a creamy blueberry filling and whipped cream. The pie is chilled for at least 4 hours before serving, which allows the flavors to meld and the crust to set. Blueberry icebox pie is a refreshing and delicious treat that is sure to please everyone.
