Irresistible Blueberry Basil Pie: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Dess

Delicious Blueberry Basil Pie Recipe

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and delightful dessert recipe that combines the freshness of blueberries with the aromatic essence of basil. This Blueberry Basil Pie is perfect for summer gatherings or when you want to impress your guests with something out of the ordinary.

Ingredients:

• 300g fresh blueberries
• 10 basil leaves
• 1 store-bought pie crust
• 100g sugar
• 15g cornstarch
• 1 lemon, juiced

Kitchen Tools:

• rolling pin
• pie dish
• mixing bowl
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, chopped basil leaves, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently mix everything together until the blueberries are well coated with the sugar mixture.

Next, roll out the pie crust on a floured surface with a rolling pin. Transfer the pie crust to a pie dish and gently press it down to fit the shape of the dish. Pour the blueberry mixture into the pie crust.

Bake the Blueberry Basil Pie in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbly. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

This unique Blueberry Basil Pie weighs approximately 700g once cooked and serves 6 people. Each serving is around 116g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per portion.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some extra fresh basil leaves on top of the pie before serving. It adds a pop of color and enhances the basil flavor in every bite.
