Blueberry Jell-O Pie (Print Version)

Buttery crust paired with fresh blueberry filling, chilled for a cool and fruity finish.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Blueberry Filling

01 - 1 cup water
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 cup water
04 - 1/4 cup cornstarch
05 - 3 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
06 - 3.4 oz Berry Blue Jell-O gelatin mix

→ Crust

07 - 1 package Golden Oreo cookies (approximately 36 cookies)
08 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
09 - 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted

→ Optional Topping

10 - Cool Whip or whipped topping as desired

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves and mixture simmers. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup water and cornstarch until smooth to create a slurry. Gradually add slurry to the simmering sugar mixture, whisking continuously. Incorporate 1 1/2 cups blueberries and cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, until berries burst and liquid thickens. Stir in Jell-O mix until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
02 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Pulse Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor or crush in a sealed bag until fine crumbs form. Combine crumbs with sugar and melted butter, mixing thoroughly. Press mixture firmly into the base and sides of a 9-inch pie pan using the bottom of a glass or spoon. Bake crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely.
03 - Once the blueberry filling has cooled, gently fold in remaining 2 cups of fresh blueberries. Pour filling into cooled crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for approximately 4 hours or until fully set.
04 - Slice and serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped topping or ice cream.

# Extra Tips & Details:

01 - For best results, use fresh blueberries to avoid excess moisture and ensure proper setting. Store pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
