Blueberry & Strawberry Pie Recipe
A delicious celebration of strawberries and blueberries! This pie is full of berry flavor that is combined with a rich buttery crust.
It is so easy to make this pie using simple, pantry-staple ingredients. And if you want to have it ready in minutes you could use a store-bought crust. Although, I always think Homemade Pie Crusts are better!
I love that this blueberry and strawberry pie can be made and enjoyed any time of the year. Both fresh and frozen blueberries work perfectly to make this pie. And it can be served with creamy custard in the chilly months and then with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream in the hot ones!
Ingredient Notes
- Blueberries and strawberries. You can use fresh or frozen berries for this pie. If you use frozen berries, add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch as they will give off more liquid.
- Granulated sugar. Add a touch of sweetness to balance the tart berries. You can adjust the amount according to the sweetness of your berries. You can also substitute with coconut sugar or xylitol.
- Cornstarch. This helps to thicken up the berry filling.
- Lemon zest. Add some zesty lemon flavor that enhances the taste of the pie.
- Butter. Adds some richness to the filling.
- Pie crust. You can use ready-made or homemade pie crusts. You can find lots of helpful tips and tricks, along with a recipe, in my Easy Homemade Pie Crust post.
How to Make a Classic Strawberry Blueberry Pie
STEP ONE
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the blueberries, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Set aside.
STEP TWO
Roll out the pie dough 5cm larger than your pie dish diameter. Place rolled-out dough into the pie dish and prick with a fork. Reserve the remaining dough for topping the pie.

STEP THREE
Pour the prepared berry filling into the pie crust. Dot with butter, and refrigerate while the pie topping is prepared.
STEP FOUR
Roll reserved pie dough out to 5mm thick. Cut into strips and arrange in a lattice pattern over the pie. Trim any excess strips of dough & crimp the edge. Brush with a beaten egg if desired. This adds a shine and golden color to the crust.
STEP FIVE
Bake for 20 minutes at 220ºC and then lower the oven temperature to 180ºC and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until evenly browned.
Cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
If serving this pie during the cold months, serve a warm slice of pie with vanilla custard.
If serving this pie in warm months, top it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
You can also enjoy this pie as is and it is then best served at room temperature.
Recipe tips and notes
- Throughout the process, you want the pie dough to stay as cold as possible. This is what ensures a delicious flaky crust when baked.
- When adding the strawberry and blueberry filling to the pie crust, avoid adding too much of the liquid as this can make the pie have a soggy bottom.
- Let the pie cool fully before slicing. This helps the filling to thicken up and be the perfect consistency and temperature.
Storage Instructions
The baked pie can be kept at room temperature for 1 - 2 days.
To store it for longer, cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate. If refrigerated, the blueberry pie will keep for 5 - 7 days. Bring the pie to room temperature or warm it in the oven before serving.
