Ingredients for the Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Ingredients for the Blueberry Chia Filling
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 ½ cups full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- ⅓ cup chia seeds
Ingredients for Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh blueberries
- Fresh blackberries
- Edible flowers
- Extra lemon zest
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil or butter, and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
2. Make the Blueberry Chia Filling
Add the blueberries, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thick and pudding-like.
3. Assemble the Pie
Once the filling has fully set, pour it over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to slice cleanly.
4. Serve and Garnish
Before serving, decorate the pie with fresh blueberries, blackberries, lemon zest, and edible flowers for a stunning presentation. Slice with a sharp knife for clean edges and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Storage and Tips
Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For a firmer texture, keep it chilled overnight before slicing. You can also freeze individual slices for a refreshing frozen treat. This pie is naturally gluten-free if gluten-free graham crackers are used and can be fully vegan with maple syrup and coconut oil.
