Ingredients You’ll Need

What makes Blueberry Pie Bombs so magical? The ingredient list is short, approachable, and each item brings its own special role to the party—from the fresh pop of blueberries to the golden finish of real butter. Creative cooks, these are the kind of essentials you’ll want to keep on hand for anytime treat cravings.

• Refrigerated biscuits (1 can, 8 count): These soft, fluffy rounds make the perfect shortcut for flaky, golden crust—no dough-making required!
• Blueberry jam (¼ cup): This jam is the secret to that syrupy, sweet interior. Use a high-quality or homemade jam for the very best flavor.
• Fresh blueberries (¼ cup): Adding real berries creates a juicy burst in every bite and amps up the color and texture.
• Melted butter (4 tablespoons): Brushing or dipping your pie bombs in this golden elixir ensures an extra buttery, rich finish (and helps them brown beautifully).
• Powdered sugar (optional): A light dusting after baking gives each pie bomb that dreamy, bakery-worthy look and a gentle touch of extra sweetness.

How to Make Blueberry Pie Bombs

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Start by gathering everything you need and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s perfectly hot and ready when you are. This little prep means you’re on your way to Blueberry Pie Bombs in no time.

Step 2: Flatten the Biscuit Dough

Pop open your can of refrigerated biscuits—there’s something thrilling about that little “pop,” isn’t there? Gently flatten each biscuit using your hands or a rolling pin until it’s about ¼ inch thick. You want enough surface area to hold your filling, so don’t be shy about getting a little floury!

Step 3: Fill with Blueberry Goodness

Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of blueberry jam right into the center of each biscuit, then nestle 2–3 fresh blueberries on top. This dynamic duo is what gives Blueberry Pie Bombs their signature jammy, juicy interior that oozes with flavor.

Step 4: Fold and Seal

Now comes the fun part—carefully gather the biscuit dough around the filling and pinch the edges together tight. Make sure there are no little gaps; you want all that delicious filling to stay snug inside. If needed, give the seam a little roll with your fingers to really lock it in.

Step 5: Dip in Butter

Dip each sealed pie bomb into your melted butter, coating all sides generously. Not only does this keep the outside soft and rich, but it also helps the dough turn gorgeously golden in the oven.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Arrange the buttery pie bombs seam side down on your prepared baking sheet. Slide them into the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes until you see crisp, golden perfection. Your kitchen will smell like a sweet blueberry daydream!

Step 7: Add Those Finishing Touches

Let your Blueberry Pie Bombs cool just slightly (resist the urge to dive in right away, they’re hot!). If you like, dust them with powdered sugar for a whimsical, snow-kissed finish. Now try not to eat them all in one sitting!

How to Serve Blueberry Pie Bombs

Garnishes

A gentle cloud of powdered sugar is my go-to, but you can also dress up your Blueberry Pie Bombs with a drizzle of lemon glaze, a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest, or even a scatter of slivered almonds for a little crunch. Serve them warm from the oven and watch them disappear!

Side Dishes

If you’re making a dessert platter, Blueberry Pie Bombs pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream. For brunch, serve alongside a fruit salad or a creamy yogurt—perfect for balancing out all the sweet bliss.

Creative Ways to Present

Try piling your Blueberry Pie Bombs in a pretty basket lined with a tea towel for a rustic look, or thread them onto skewers for a playful dessert kabob. At parties, arrange them on a tiered cake stand and let guests help themselves—these little bombs always steal the spotlight!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have leftover Blueberry Pie Bombs (a big “if”), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To keep them ultra-fresh, lay a sheet of wax paper between layers so they don’t stick together.

Freezing

Need a blueberry fix later in the month? These pie bombs freeze like a dream. Let them cool completely, then wrap each individually in plastic wrap and pop into a zip-top bag. Freeze for up to three months, and they’ll be ready for any dessert emergency.

Reheating

To bring back that fresh-baked magic, reheat Blueberry Pie Bombs in a 325°F (165°C) oven for about 8–10 minutes. If reheating from frozen, give them a few extra minutes. You can also use the microwave for a quick bite, but the oven keeps that crisp, golden crust.

FAQs

Can I use other kinds of jam in this recipe?

Absolutely! While blueberry is classic, you can swap in raspberry, strawberry, or even apricot jam to create your own twist on Blueberry Pie Bombs. Just keep the quantity the same for best results.

Do I have to use fresh blueberries?

Fresh blueberries deliver the best burst and texture, but if you can’t find them, frozen ones will do. Thaw and drain them first to prevent your filling from getting watery.

How do I prevent the filling from leaking out?

Take your time sealing the dough—make sure every edge is tightly pinched shut and double-check from all angles. A little extra roll with your fingers never hurts. Also, keep the filling in the center to avoid overfilling.

Can kids help make Blueberry Pie Bombs?

Kids love hands-on recipes and this one is a total winner! Little helpers can press out dough, spoon in jam, and even help seal the bombs. Just supervise with the butter and oven steps for safety.

Are Blueberry Pie Bombs best served warm or cold?

They’re at their most irresistible when warm with the gooey center and crisp exterior, but honestly, a leftover Blueberry Pie Bomb is still delicious at room temperature (or even packed in a lunchbox for a sweet surprise).
