I am really loving all the summer flavors and berries I’m seeing out there right now. June is one of the best months of the summer. It’s usually not too hot yet, school lets out, graduations are happening and we have our annual summer trip to Bass Lake. When we’re up there, it’s definitely too hot to bake, so it’s the perfect time for frozen desserts.
In preparation for your summer activities, I’m sharing this Easy No-Churn Blueberry Ice Cream Pie and you’ll never guess what makes this pie so easy!
The crust is made with vanilla wafer cookies because they are a bit sweeter than a graham cracker crust. When you are preparing the filling, I recommend putting the crust in the freezer. That way, when you add the filling, it will prevent the crust from crumbling apart.
I always make my desserts in a springform pan because it makes removing the sides of the pan so easy. It also helps because there is quite a bit of filling, so if you are looking to use a store-bought crust, then you’ll probably get two ice cream pies.
The filling is 5 simple ingredients. It starts with a batch of homemade whipped cream, but if you are looking to simplify, you could use a premade whipped topping from the grocery store.
Then you add a can of sweetened condensed milk and a jar of Lucky Leaf Blueberry Pie Filling. YES! I said pie filling! The filling has chunks of blueberries mixed in, leaving you all those pretty berries in the ice cream. Would you believe it makes this ice cream so thick and creamy? To accent the blueberry filling, I’ve added some lemon zest, which never did anyone any harm.
How easy is that? Just 5 ingredients (or less if you use prepared whipped topping!), about 15 minutes later your dessert is ready to head to the freezer. Plus, you don’t need any fancy machines to make this ice cream. That’s why it’s called “no-churn”.
Throw this pie in the freezer and let it sit for about 3 or 4 hours. You can even make it a day or two ahead of time so you have dessert on hand when you need it! I always like to serve a little whipped cream with my ice cream. I made a second batch of whipped cream and added the boarders with a large star dip, but a dollop on top will also do the trick. Or you can take it one step further and spread the whipped cream as a layer over top of the pie. To finish it off, I zested a little lemon on top for color.
A special thanks to my friends at Lucky Leaf for partnering with me on this recipe today. I’ve been working with Lucky Leaf for a couple years now, and I love to find new and unique ways to use their pie filling.

Hi Julianne! I was wondering whether I could omit the blueberry pie filling from this recipe and instead add melted white chocolate to half the ice cream and melted milk chocolate to the other half? How much of each of those should I add, if possible, and will the ice cream still set properly? Also, I will do an Oreo cookie crust in place of the graham cracker crust, and then drizzle dark chocolate ganache on top. I’m going for a triple chocolate ice cream pie. Do you think all this would work out correctly? Thanks! I really appreciate it! 🙂
This pie is summer goals! gorgeous!
If I use pre made whipped topping (Cool Whip) is it the same measurements? TIA!
Hi Tiffany, you can use one full container for the filling. It might not be as tall as mine, but I made one version with Cool Whip and it worked out just fine!
The blueberry, ice cream filling looks amazing!
Girl I love this recipe. I am a huge blueberry fan, adding it to ice cream, then making it a pie?! I am so in. Pinned, yummed, FB scheduled. xo
true story, I have 3 cans of Lucky Leaf pie filling in my pantry and I just opened one the other day and literally started eating the filling straight out of the can with no plans to make anything with it. haha Loving your slightly higher ambitions with this cake 😉
Oh my gosh I love that Gina!
I am all about homemade ice cream. This ice cream pie though. YUM. I can’t wait to make one! I’m obsessed with blueberries right now too.
Thanks Madison! Blueberry Ice Cream Pie is definitely a treat for the summer time!
