Crustless Ginger Blueberry-Pear Pie

by Erin

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 π (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!

[…] of all, my obsession with ginger and pear, and cardamom and pear, is real and further verified by this dessert. And that whipped mascarpone? […]

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

Erin July 27, 2021 - 2:05 pm

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!

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.
