Everyone loves a nice slice of warm blueberry pie with a heaping scoop of French vanilla ice cream on top and a little mountain of whipped cream for good measure. But blueberry recipes go far beyond the classic pie recipe, stretching to the likes of cheesecake and coffee cake, fitting right into both the breakfast and dessert worlds.
Here are some of our favorite creative blueberry recipes to help inspire you.

2. Mustikkapiirakka (Finnish Blueberry Pie)
All right, this one is technically a pie, but mustikkapiirakka doesn’t fit the bill of a traditional American pie. Instead, this Finnish blueberry pie recipe is like the lovechild of a tart and a pie. Along with the blueberries, the filling is made using sour cream, egg, cane sugar, cardamom, and vanilla. It’s got tangy and creamy flavors, tartness from the blueberries, a luscious texture, and a flaky crust. Not much more you could ask for from a blueberry recipe.
