This takes a couple hours to chill. The crust on this pie is really good, and thick. It will fill up your pie plate so press down as much as you can. I used a 9.5 inch pie plate so I was left with about a cup of filling that wouldn't fit...I saved it for a later breakfast topped with some granola. Two 15 oz cans of blueberry's work perfectly for this. :) You can easily get 16 slices from this pie, it is very thick and rich. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs |
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts |
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp butter, melted |
3 tablespoons honey |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
6 egg yolks |
1 cup blueberry juice, drained from canned blueberries |
1 cup whipping cream |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/4 cup blueberry juice, drained from canned blueberries |
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin |

1 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted |
whipped cream (garnish) |
