Blueberry Cloud Pie with Rice Krispie Treat Crust

This Blueberry Cloud Pie has a Rice Krispie Crust, and it’s unlike any pie you’ve ever tasted. The blueberry filling is so creamy. This pie is DELICIOUS!

I love the color aqua blue.  It just makes me happy for some reason.  One of my hobbies is going to the thrift store in hopes of finding furniture that I can transform with aqua blue spray paint.  I’m just drawn to it for some reason.  So, if a pie has that beautiful happy blue color to it – I’m instantly in love with it too.

Lucky for me, this pie has been a part of my life for many years now.  Maybe it’s even the culprit when it comes to my little aqua blue addiction I have going on.  It combines so many of my favorite things into one single dessert, and it definitely holds my heart.

Obviously it has the whole beautiful color going on for it – but it also has the flavor of blueberries (which I also love) with a very unique crust made from rice krispie treats. And let me tell you – I’ve been a fan of rice krispie treats since way back.  My MawMaw used to come up with all sorts of different rice krispie treats flavors when I was a little girl, which has caused me to experiment a little with them too. So, having a rice krispie treat crust just seemed to make perfect sense to me.  And it totally works in this pie!

All the flavors in this unique pie work so well together, making it such a mouthwatering dessert. Plus, it’s super pretty. I like pretty food. 

Here’s what you need:

pie6

In a large saucepan, melt together 3 tablespoons of butter with 1 1/4 cups of miniature marshmallows.  Cook, while stirring over medium heat until the marshmallows are melted.

pie7

Stir in 2.5 cups of rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)

pie8

Butter a 9″ pie dish, or spray with non-stick cooking spray.  Scoop in the rice krispie mixture, and press down with your hands along the bottom & up the sides of the pie dish forming your pie crust.  If you hands stick, grease your hands with a little butter or cooking spray.  Once you have the pie crust formed, set aside.

In a large bowl. dump out the contents of a 3oz berry blue Jello container.  Pour in 1/2 cup of boiling water & whisk til dissolved.  Stir in 1/2 cup of cold water. Refrigerate until partially set, about 45 minutes.

In a medium sized bowl, beat 2 cups of heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken.  Sprinkle in 2/3 of a cup of confectioners sugar. Continue beating until soft peaks form.

You can skip this step & use Cool Whip instead if you like, omitting the heavy cream & confectioners sugar.

pie11

Remove one dollop of the fresh whipped cream & set aside.  Nothing large, just about 3-4 tablespoons.  Gently fold in 1 3/4 cups of fresh blueberries (making sure you have just a few blueberries left over for garnish – 6-8 blueberries will do)

Now, fold in the partially set berry blue jello until combined.

Scoop the mixture into the prepared rice krispie treat crust & spread evenly to fill.
