Hi Everyone! I'm finally posting again.. thanks for hanging in there with me! My Mom picked tons of beautiful blueberries when she was visiting her sister in NC and I have been cooking with them! This is a quick recipe.. in retrospect, I should not have used such a big tart pan (10"). So, my picture is of this recipe stretched to a 10" pie pan, but I have written the recipe for an 8" pie pan. This could also be made in a square, for Blueberry Bars. This is my shortbread crust with a twist.
This can be made gluten and casein free by using coconut oil instead of butter.
According to this site, fresh blueberries have 16 effective carbs (ECC), and frozen has 14. I did these Effective Carb Counts for fresh blueberries.

If your blueberries are frozen or your mixture clumps, put in a saucepan over low heat and mix gently until it is liquid (except the blueberries) and mixed well. Pour into pie crust and return to oven for 10- 20 minutes or until set.
Serve warm with or without low carb ice cream.
This looks amazing! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pie. The crust looks perfect! When my bag of almond flour comes I've got to try it (or I might just use sunflower seeds). Have some berries to use it, and this looks like the perfect way to use 'em. Thanks for sharing, Rachel!
