Texture & Flavor Secrets

The crust provides a crunchy, buttery base, the filling is luscious and creamy, and the blueberry topping adds a vibrant, tangy-sweet punch with a glossy finish—making every slice a satisfyingly layered experience.

How to Serve

Serve chilled, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprig of mint for a fresh touch. It pairs perfectly with iced tea, lemonade, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

• If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain them first to avoid excess liquid.

Make It a Showstopper (Presentation Ideas)
