BLUEBERRY CREAM PIE

I always get excited when I can buy fresh blueberries in the store because I have so many ideas for blueberry desserts. Blueberries are simply delicious, healthy and pretty. I used them to make the yummy blueberry lime compote which adds this special note and underlines the taste of the cream layer. 

This blueberry cream pie recipe is vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free and easy to make.!!

The blueberry compote contains blueberries, lime- or lemon juice, a liquid sweetener and I also added a teaspoon of maqui berry powder. This is optional but it adds a very lovely color.
