Mostly Raw Blueberry-Elderflower Pie

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Blueberry lovers, this is the pie for you. Piled into a vanilla wafer crust is a mound of fresh berries held together with a thickened blueberry puree flavored with elderflower liqueur. It's the ultimate expression of fresh blueberry goodness. Greek yogurt combines with beaten whipping cream for a luscious topping with a little tang to complement the berries. You can substitute orange liqueur for the elderflower, or stir in fruit juice (such as blueberry, grape or apple) for an alcohol-free version. The pie is best enjoyed the day it's made because the crust will be at its crispy best. Source: EatingWell.com, October 2019

It's topped with blueberries, mango, and kiwi slices, but by substituting other fresh fruit you have on hand, you can really change the look and taste of this delicious dessert.
