This crustless ginger blueberry-pear pie is light and flavorful. Combine that with a custard filling and you won’t even miss the crust.

Happy Pi(e) Day!
Ginger and blueberries and pears, oh my! There certainly is a lot going on in this pie but the light flavor of the pears combined with the sweet-tartness of the blueberries and tangy ginger marry together extremely well. And there’s no need for a crust.
Although a pie without a crust is almost heresy, the custard filling does produce slightly firm and crisp edges so that you won’t even notice the crust’s absence. The proof is in how quickly this disappeared at a gathering for which I made it. Which means I should probably make crustless rhubarb pie soon, too!
P.S. Next year pi(e) day is extra special because it will be 3/14/15. I’ll even set my post to go live at 9:26 am! (If you are clueless to what I am babbling about Ï€ (pi) = 3.14159265359).

Hi Erin, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. It’s greatly appreciated. I ust finished making an apple crisp with an oat topping. Then I saw your reply. I’ll let you know how the apple blueberry turns out. Would you still use ginger in the apple blueberry pie…or would you use the usual spices that you would use in an apple pie? Thanks again. Robert
Yep I would keep the spices the same! Hope you enjoy both your apple crisp and the apple blueberry!

I just made this pie for the second time! It is beautiful and delicious!
Yayyy so happy to hear that!
Delish!!
Made this yummy pie last night for my family. Everyone had a second slice. Total success.
Hooray! So glad to hear that.
[…] of all, my obsession with ginger and pear, and cardamom and pear, is real and further verified by this dessert. And that whipped mascarpone? […]
What a beautiful pie! I like the flavors of ginger, blueberry and pear too! Yum!
What a gorgeous pie! And yeah, who needs a crust?! That just adds extra stress.
Hi,
I’m new to your website. I love to cook and bake. I’ve been making the the coconut creme crustless pie for years but am blown away by this crustless pear blueberry pie. I’d love to make it but find myself withour pears. How would you make it with apples? Thanks for your time. Robert
I would make it exactly the same but with peeled/cored apples. I have not tried it before though so the baking time may vary. Enjoy!
Love the ginger/blueberry/pear combo, and who needs crust?! This looks absolutely delightful!
This looks delicious!
You are always right on task when it comes to these holidays. This pie is so pretty. Pear pie is one of my favorites and not many know about how nicely it pears with blueberries.
Erin, your pie is amazing! I love that it is crustless and the blueberries with pears is perfect! I love this recipe!
Wow this looks terrific! You went all out for the Pi Day calculation :) I need to mark this in my calendar for next year!
Definitely remember next year cause it’s 3.1415!
This pie is such a stunner! Seriously so gorgeous and I love the different flavors in this. I bet they work great together!
Can you please send at least two slices of this tasty pie to my currently pie-less house in Minnesota? Kthanksbye. ;)
Of course I messed up on this holiday again :(…So glad you ALWAYS deliver!! I really love the combination of ginger, pears and blueberry. Sounds so delicious. And…I am setting a reminder now for next year!!!
Next year will be even better because it’s 3.1415 and if you post at 926 am you’ll be even nerdier.
