Yogurt and Blueberry Pie with Granola Crust

Inspired by a beloved breakfast treat—yogurt parfait—this recipe borrows the main components (granola, yogurt, and fruit) and transforms them into a delicious dessert. The pie is not too sweet, but you can adjust it to your preference by drizzling as much honey as you like.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes one 9-inch pie

Ingredients

For the Crust

1 1/2 cups plain granola
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

1 cup plain yogurt
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Topping

5 ounces (1 cup) blueberries, picked over
Mild honey, such as acacia

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a food processor, pulse 1 cup granola with the sugar and cinnamon until fine crumbs form. Drizzle in butter, and process until combined. Add remaining 1/2 cup granola, and process until combined but mixture is still crumbly.

    Step 2

    Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, and press mixture evenly into bottom and up sides. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Bake until crust is golden and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Step 3

    Make the filling: Place yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a medium bowl; let drain at least 30 minutes. Discard liquid.

    Step 4

    With an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat cream cheese until very smooth. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until smooth. Add strained yogurt, and beat on low speed until smooth.

    Step 5

    Pour filling into prepared crust, and refrigerate until set, 6 hours or up to 1 day. Just before serving, arrange blueberries on top, drizzle with honey, and cut into wedges.
