Ingredients
The full list of ingredients is in the recipe card below but I wanted to highlight a few for you here:
- Flour- you can use all-purpose flour or gluten-free 1:1 flour. I like Bob's Red Mill brand and King Arthur brand.
- Blueberries- I recommend using frozen blueberries that have been defrosted, but you can also use fresh ones. You will need 12 ounces.
- Coconut cream- you can buy a can of coconut cream or place a can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight and scoop the cream from the top of the can. You'll need ½ cup/

Add the crust to the pie dish then bake for 10-12 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack while you make the filling.
Add all of the filling ingredients into a food processor or blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Pour the blueberry mixture into a bowl and then fold in a ½ cup of sifted flour.
