# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water and 1 cup granulated sugar. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture simmers. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup water and ¼ cup cornstarch to form a smooth slurry. Gradually add slurry to the simmering sugar water, whisking constantly. Stir in 1 ½ cups blueberries and cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until blueberries burst and mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in Berry Blue Jell-O until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
02 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pulse Golden Oreos in a food processor or crush in a sealed plastic bag until fine crumbs form. In a bowl, combine cookie crumbs with 2 tablespoons sugar and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan using the back of a spoon or glass. Bake crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
03 -
Once the blueberry filling has cooled, fold in remaining 2 cups of fresh blueberries. Pour filling evenly into the cooled crust and spread to smooth surface. Refrigerate for approximately 4 hours or until fully set.
04 -
Slice and serve chilled. Top with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use fresh blueberries for best texture; frozen berries add excess moisture and may prevent setting. The crust can be substituted with graham cracker or preferred pie crust. Store covered in refrigerator up to 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
