🫐 Blueberry Pie Bombs
Soft, golden biscuit pastries filled with cream cheese and blueberry pie filling
🍽️ Servings: 8 pie bombs
⏱️ Total Time: ~25 minutes
(10 minutes prep + 15 minutes baking)
🧾 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count can, 16.3 oz) | 1 can (Pillsbury Grands or similar) |
| Blueberry pie filling | 1 cup |
| Cream cheese, softened | 4 oz (about ½ block) |
| Powdered sugar | 2 tablespoons |
| Melted butter (for brushing, optional) | 2 tablespoons |
| Sugar + cinnamon (optional topping) | 2 tablespoons sugar + ½ tsp cinnamon |
➕ Optional Additions
- Vanilla extract (½ tsp) in the cream cheese for extra flavor
- Lemon zest (½ tsp) for a bright contrast
- Icing glaze (powdered sugar + milk) to drizzle on top
- Different pie fillings – try cherry, apple, or strawberry
🔑 Tips for Success
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so it mixes smoothly.
- Don’t overfill the dough — seal edges well to prevent leaking.
- If using large biscuits, flatten them out a bit for easier sealing.
- Brushing with butter gives a golden finish; cinnamon sugar adds sweetness.
- Cool slightly before eating — filling will be hot!
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Make the cream cheese filling
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add a dash of vanilla if desired.
3. Prepare the biscuits
Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each piece slightly with your hands or a rolling pin into a circle (about 4 inches wide).
4. Fill the bombs
Place about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese mixture and 1 tablespoon of blueberry pie filling in the center of each dough circle.
5. Seal and shape
Carefully bring the edges of the dough up over the filling and pinch to seal completely. Shape into balls and place seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.
6. Brush and top (optional)
Brush the tops with melted butter, and if desired, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
7. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 13–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and puffed.
8. Cool and serve
Let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with icing or powdered sugar if you like.
