My recipe story

This recipe was born from a love of simple, nostalgic treats. I remember summer days spent picking blueberries with family, then coming home to enjoy warm blueberry pies fresh from the oven. But as life got busier, I wanted a way to capture those same flavors in less time. That’s when I discovered pie bombs. Using canned biscuits as a shortcut crust, I could recreate the essence of blueberry pie in just a few steps. Today, these blueberry pie bombs are a go-to in my kitchen whenever I want a dessert that feels special but doesn’t require hours of prep.

Ingredient breakdown

These blueberry pie bombs come together with just a handful of accessible ingredients, each playing a vital role in creating the perfect dessert bite.

Refrigerated biscuits: This is the base of the recipe, replacing the traditional pie crust. They bake up golden brown with a soft, pillowy inside. Using canned biscuits saves time and ensures consistent results.

Organic blueberry jam: The star of the filling, jam provides concentrated blueberry flavor and a natural sweetness. Choosing organic or gourmet jam makes the filling more flavorful, but any high-quality jam will do.

Fresh blueberries: Whole berries add texture and bursts of tartness, balancing the sweetness of the jam. They also help the filling feel more authentic, reminiscent of homemade pie.

Melted butter: Brushed over the tops of the pie bombs before baking, butter gives them a rich golden finish and enhances flavor. You can also use it post-baking for extra shine.

Optional powdered sugar: A light dusting before serving makes these pie bombs look bakery-worthy while adding a touch of sweetness.

Equipment you’ll need

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
• Small mixing bowl
• Pastry brush (for butter)
• Measuring spoons and cups

Step-by-step directions

1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier. This step ensures your biscuits bake evenly and achieve a golden finish.
2. Prepare the biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and separate them onto a clean surface. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or the back of a spoon to create more surface area for the filling. You want them wide enough to fold easily without tearing.
3. Fill the centers: Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of blueberry jam into the center of each biscuit. Add 2–3 fresh blueberries on top of the jam. Be careful not to overfill, as too much filling may cause the bombs to burst open during baking.
4. Seal the bombs: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching firmly to seal. Roll gently into a ball shape, making sure the seams are tight. Place each sealed bomb seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.
5. Brush with butter: Melt the butter and use a pastry brush to coat the tops of each pie bomb generously. This step enhances the flavor and encourages a golden, slightly crisp exterior as they bake.
6. Bake to perfection: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the bombs are puffed and golden brown. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to avoid over-baking.
7. Cool and serve: Allow the pie bombs to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving, as the filling will be hot. If desired, dust lightly with powdered sugar for a beautiful finishing touch.

Variations & substitutions

One of the best things about pie bombs is how customizable they are. Instead of blueberry jam, try strawberry, raspberry, or blackberry for a different fruity twist. You can also mix jams—blueberry and lemon curd, for example, create a tangy, sweet combo. For a more indulgent version, add a small piece of cream cheese along with the jam for a cheesecake-inspired filling. If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen ones (thawed and patted dry) work well. And for a slightly savory-sweet option, consider using brie cheese paired with blueberry jam inside the bombs.

Storage, freezing & make-ahead

Blueberry pie bombs are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 4 days. To reheat, place them in a 325°F (165°C) oven for 5–8 minutes to restore their crispness. You can also freeze unbaked pie bombs: prepare them through the sealing step, then freeze on a tray before transferring to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, simply brush with butter and bake from frozen, adding 3–5 minutes to the baking time.

Serving ideas & pairings

These pie bombs are versatile and pair wonderfully with a variety of accompaniments. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. For brunch, pair them with coffee, tea, or a refreshing mimosa. They also make great picnic treats since they’re handheld and mess-free. If you want to dress them up for a special occasion, drizzle them with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk, or pair with a fruit salad for a lighter option.

FAQ

Can I make these with homemade biscuit dough?
Yes! While canned biscuits save time, homemade biscuit dough or even pie crust works beautifully for this recipe.

Do I have to use blueberry jam?
No, you can use any fruit jam you like. Strawberry, raspberry, and apricot all make delicious variations.

Can I air fry these pie bombs?
Absolutely. Place them in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes until golden and cooked through.

How do I prevent filling leaks?
Make sure to seal the edges of the dough firmly and avoid overfilling. Placing seam-side down on the tray also helps.

Can I make these ahead for a party?
Yes, you can assemble the bombs ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake. Brush with butter just before baking.
