Tips & Variations

  • Berry Swap: Try raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries instead of blueberries.

  • Extra Sweetness: Add a drizzle of glaze made with powdered sugar and milk.

  • Make It Savory: Skip the sugar and fruit, and fill with cheese or spinach for a savory twist.

  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, but don’t thaw them first. Use directly from frozen and add 1 extra teaspoon of cornstarch.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble and freeze unbaked bombs on a tray, then bake straight from frozen, adding 5 minutes to the bake time.

Why is my filling leaking out?
This can happen if too much filling is added or edges aren’t sealed tightly. Use a fork to press well.

Do they need to be refrigerated?
Not right away. They’re fine at room temperature for 1–2 days, but for longer storage, refrigerate.

Final Thoughts

Blueberry Pie Bombs are flaky, fruity, and absolutely irresistible. Whether you enjoy them warm out of the oven or later as a snack, these little pies are sure to become a go-to favorite in your kitchen.
