Introduction
Blueberry Pie Bombs are a delightful fusion of classic blueberry pie and soft, fluffy pastries. These bite-sized treats are filled with a luscious blend of creamy cheesecake and juicy blueberries, making them perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack anytime. Loved for their convenience and irresistible flavor, they deliver bakery-style indulgence right from your home kitchen.
Origin & Cultural Significance
Handheld pastry snacks have long been appreciated across many cultures for their portability and comforting flavors. Blueberry Pie Bombs are a modern American twist inspired by traditional pies and dough-wrapped treats like turnovers and dumplings. Blueberries, a beloved North American fruit, continue to shine in desserts that symbolize summer abundance and family gatherings.
Ingredients & Quantities
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 1 cup blueberry pie filling
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
Optional Additions
- Lemon zest in the cream cheese for bright citrus flavor
- A dusting of powdered sugar after baking
- Vanilla glaze drizzle
- Swap blueberries for cherry, apple, or mixed berry pie filling
Tips for Success
Keep cream cheese soft and smooth to avoid lumps
Seal edges firmly so filling doesn’t leak
Don’t overfill — a little goes a long way
Bake on parchment to prevent sticking
Allow them to cool slightly before serving so filling can set
