Ingredients Breakdown
Let’s take a closer look at what makes these pie bombs so irresistible:
Dough:
- Refrigerated biscuit dough (1 can, 16.3 oz, 8-count)
Flaky, buttery, and perfectly portioned—makes prep fast and easy.
Tip: Use jumbo or flaky layers for extra puff.
Filling:
- Blueberry pie filling (1 cup)
Juicy, sweet, and ready to use—canned filling saves time and adds consistent flavor.
Optional: Use homemade blueberry compote or mix with fresh berries for texture.
Cheesecake Center:
- Cream cheese (4 oz, softened)
Adds tangy richness and creamy texture. - Powdered sugar (2 tbsp)
Sweetens the cream cheese without graininess. - Vanilla extract (1 tsp)
Adds warmth and depth.
Optional: Add lemon zest or almond extract for a flavor twist.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Tip: Use a rimmed sheet to catch any filling overflow.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl:
- Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Set aside.
Optional: Chill for 10 minutes to make scooping easier.
Step 3: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Open the biscuit can and separate the 8 biscuits.
Flatten each biscuit into a 3–4 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Tip: Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Fill and Seal
Place a small spoonful of cheesecake filling in the center of each flattened biscuit.
Top with a spoonful of blueberry pie filling.
Fold the edges up and pinch to seal, forming a ball.
Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
