Prep Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups of flour

- 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) of cream cheese

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| 2 | Prepare the Pie Crust: Sift together the flour, salt, and sugar directly into a 9-inch pie pan. |
| 3 | In a separate cup, combine the oil and milk. |
| 4 | Pour the oil and milk mixture onto the flour mixture in the pie pan. Mix well until a dough forms, then use your hands to shape it into a pie crust. |
| 5 | Using a fork, poke holes all over the crust to prevent air bubbles from forming. |
| 6 | Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it turns golden brown. |
| 7 | Prepare the Pie Filling: In a mixing bowl, stir the cream cheese until it softens. |
| 8 | Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the softened cream cheese. Beat the mixture until smooth and well combined. |
| 9 | Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. |
| 10 | Spoon the creamy filling into the baked pastry shell, spreading it evenly. |
| 11 | Top the pie with your choice of blueberry pie filling or fresh blueberries, covering the entire surface. |
| 12 | Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least a few hours, allowing it to set. |
| 13 | Once chilled, slice and serve the Blueberry Cheesecake Pie, savoring each delicious bite. Enjoy the creamy texture and burst of fruity flavor! 🎉 |
