These Blueberry Pie Bombs are the perfect blend of sweet, creamy, and crispy. Each bite is packed with luscious blueberry pie filling, a dollop of sweetened cream cheese, and wrapped in golden biscuit dough, finished off with a delightful cinnamon-sugar coating. Whether I’m making these for a weekend treat or sharing them at a potluck, they’re always a hit.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how quick and simple this recipe is. It uses store-bought biscuit dough to cut down on prep time, but still delivers a homemade taste. The cream cheese adds a rich, tangy layer that pairs beautifully with the sweet blueberry filling, and the cinnamon-sugar coating gives them that classic, nostalgic pastry flavor. Plus, they’re perfect for serving warm right out of the oven—or even reheated the next day.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
-
1 cup blueberry pie filling
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
2 tbsp powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
⅓ cup granulated sugar
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions
-
I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
-
In a small bowl, I blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
I separate the biscuit dough into 8 rounds and flatten each one into a 4-inch circle.
-
I place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture and a spoonful of blueberry pie filling in the center of each dough circle.
-
I fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together tightly to seal them into a ball. Then, I place each bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
-
I bake for 13 to 16 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the dough is cooked through.
-
While they’re baking, I mix the cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl.
-
Once slightly cooled, I brush each bomb with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mix until fully coated.
-
I love serving these warm, sometimes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Variations

I also like brushing the tops with egg wash before baking for a shinier, bakery-style finish.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover pie bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I warm them in a 300°F oven for about 5–7 minutes or pop them in the microwave for 15–20 seconds. They’re best enjoyed warm so the filling gets gooey again.
FAQs
How do I stop the filling from leaking out?
I make sure to pinch the dough tightly when sealing the bombs. Pressing firmly and double-checking the seams helps keep all that delicious filling inside.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, I assemble them ahead and store in the fridge (unbaked) for up to a day. When I’m ready, I just pop them in the oven as usual.
Can I freeze blueberry pie bombs?
Absolutely. After baking and cooling, I freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. I reheat them in the oven directly from frozen at 325°F until warm.
Can I use homemade biscuit dough?
Yes, I sometimes use my own dough recipe if I want a more traditional, buttery flavor. Just make sure the dough is thick enough to hold the filling.
What’s the best way to serve them?
I love serving these warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar. They also make a great brunch treat with coffee.
Conclusion
These Blueberry Pie Bombs are such a satisfying and easy dessert. I love how the buttery biscuit dough, sweet blueberry filling, and creamy center come together in just 30 minutes. Whether it’s for a weekend indulgence, a family gathering, or just because, I know I’ll be making these again and again.
