Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Crackers or Digestive Biscuits; use gluten-free cookies for a gluten-free version.
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter or replace with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
For the Blueberry Filling
  • 2 cups Fresh or Frozen Blueberries if using frozen, thaw and drain to avoid excess moisture.
  • 1/4 cup Chia Seeds adjust quantity for desired thickness.
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar or Alternative Sweetener e.g., honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt or use plant-based yogurt for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice to brighten the flavor of blueberries.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract a little goes a long way.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt to balance sweetness.
Optional Garnishes
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • a few Mint Leaves

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Blender
  • Pie Dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by crushing the graham crackers into fine crumbs. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbs with melted unsalted butter, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  2. In a blender, blend the fresh or thawed blueberries until smooth yet slightly chunky. In another bowl, stir the blueberries with chia seeds, chosen sweetener, lemon juice, and salt. Mix in Greek yogurt until fully integrated. Let chia seeds soak for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
  3. Once thickened, pour the blueberry mixture over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours; overnight is ideal.
  4. After chilling, decorate the top with fresh blueberries, lemon zest, or mint leaves. Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water to slice the pie for clean edges. Serve chilled.
