I made these for my Bible study and everyone asked for the recipe afterward. The fresh blueberries are the perfect contrast to the rich crust. I would caution that if you’re using a metal pan that you should lower the oven temperature to 350.

These didn’t turn out like I expected. Not sweet enough for me and I even added more condensed milk on top. Good thing is that my 14 month old ate a few.

Not so tasty, needed something to perk it up.

Pretty good. My husband went nuts for them. The crust doesn’t have a lot of flavor and the topping was VERY thick and difficult to spread.

I followed this recipe exactly but the mixture of condensed milk and flour was way too thick and would not spread well. I would add at least 1/4 cup of milk to make this filling work better. I thought the flavor was good and actually it was not overly sweet and that really brought out the fresh flavor of the blueberries. I would try this recipe again with this alteration.

I had an excess of blueberries and a hankerin’ to bake, so when this recipe popped up the morning, I started in on it right away. Besides which, I can’t resist anything related to pie – unlike the creator of the recipe I love pie!!
I did have one issue with the recipe – A) I’m not a fan of condensed milk and B) I didn’t have any, anyway. So I went online and looked for a substitute. Most of these seem to involve dried milk, water and sugar, but I found one that was egg-based and tried that. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. Two notes – I thought a tablespoon and a half of vanilla extract in the topping might be too much, but it was good. And also the topping is very thick – at least with my condensed milk substitute it was. I added a little water to help it spread – then again my blueberries were frozen which did not help with spreadability, either.
Anyway, definitely a recipe for the keeper file! Thanks!
