Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by crushing graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and a rolling pin. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbs with melted unsalted butter until well-blended. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up.
  2. In a separate bowl, mash or blend the fresh or thawed blueberries until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture. Stir in chia seeds, your choice of sweetener, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Next, fold in Greek yogurt or cream cheese until the mixture is creamy and well-combined. Allow the chia seeds to soak in this mixture for 5-10 minutes to achieve the desired thickness.
  3. Once the crust has chilled and firmed, spoon the blueberry chia filling over the crust, evenly spreading it out with a spatula. Make sure the filling is smooth and level for a perfect presentation. Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set nicely.
  4. After chilling, add your desired garnishes by decorating the top of the pie with fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of lemon zest, or a few mint leaves for a refreshing touch. To slice, use a warm knife for clean cuts that maintain the integrity of the filling. Serve your delightful No-Bake Blueberry Chia Seed Pie chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Chia seeds should be soaked for at least 3-4 hours to achieve the perfect texture. Taste for sweetness before refrigeration to accommodate berry sweetness variation. Pressing crumbs firmly prevents sogginess.
