Description

Another one of Mom's delectable desserts where she added a yummy gingersnap crumb crust. Serve with vanilla ice cream, of course!

Ingredients
  • 2 cups coarse gingersnap cookie crumbs
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries, divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
  1. 1. Move a rack to the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2. Stir gingersnap crumbs with light brown sugar and melted butter in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  3. 3. Bake the crust on the center rack of the preheated oven just until set, 3 to 4 minutes. Baking too long will make the crust hard to cut. Remove the crust and let cool.
  4. 4. Stir cornstarch and water in a saucepan until smoothly mixed; add sugar and 1 1/2 cups blueberries. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the blueberry sauce is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups blueberries and lemon juice.
  5. 5. Pour filling into the gingersnap crust and refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 1 hour.
