This pie was Perfect! It is an elegant desert. The custard is the best I've ever made or had; the blueberry topping was super great! This recipe is totally fabulous and everything was right on perfect! I loved it, my family loved it. I have no complaints - Only compliments! (If in a hurry, can have frozen pie crusts made ahead & ready to go.

This is an ok pie. It is definitely better a day or two later once all of the flavors have settled. The custard was too much like scrambled egg to really be enjoyable. The blueberry topping was delicious!

The only thing good about this recipe was the blueberry topping. The pie crust shrank and broke in my pie plate, the custard overflowed and stunk up my house after it burned on the bottom of my oven and the custard was overdone. Sigh. This si the worst baking catastrophe I've ever had.

Looks great but it was a little too much trouble to go through for how it turned out. The blueberry topping was really good. It was a bit too tangy, but in all honesty that was my fault. Didn't measure accurately. The custard had an eggy taste (not my fault. Will modify next time.

The custard is what makes this pie - it's creamy & rich & delicious and tastes like flan or creme brulee. I did increase the vanilla to about 2 tsp (I tend to increase the amount of vanilla in any recipe calling for it. The blueberry topping was also delicious, not too sweet, and very easy to make. It's also versatile - I used the blueberry topping as a crepe filling. I can't speak for the crust recipe, however - I've been using Martha Stewart's pie crust recipe for all my pies, since it uses all butter and no shortening (we try to stay away from hydrogenated fats. I also used a method from Cook's Illustrated which called for coating the pie dough in graham cracker crumbs as you roll it out, which makes for a crunchy crust and helps protect against moisture from the custard. I'm relatively new to pie-making, and I found this pie very easy to make, and incredibly delicious. It's definitely a keeper! I plan to make this pie again and try different fruit toppings - peach, mango, strawberry. Yum!

The custard was a bit bland. I am a big Emeril fan, but I would look elsewhere for a good blueberry dessert recipe.
