Star Wars Baking Challenge — Week 9, The Rise of Skywalker
I’ve now seen Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in theaters twice — and I’m hoping to see it once more before it leaves theaters! I’ll be honest, I had a hard time finding the perfect final recipe for my baking challenge. I didn’t want to choose something that only represented one character, and I didn’t want to make anything that might include a spoiler. But seriously, if you haven’t seen Rise of Skywalker yet, what are you waiting for?!
Ultimately I decided to bake a pie — I already made one for the prequel and original trilogies, so baking one for the final trilogy seemed appropriate!
Taking queues from one of my favorite Rise of Skywalker posters, I chose to infuse elements of Rey and Kylo’s lightsaber battle (from the poster below) on top of a blueberry pie, helping to give off those galaxy vibes.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Pie
What You Need:
For the Blueberry Filling
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. of salt
- 1-2 tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 tbsp. butter
- Pie pan
For the Pie Crust and Decorations
- Pre-made refrigerated pie crust, three rolls
- 1 egg white, beaten
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla
- Maple syrup
- Food coloring — blue, red
- Sprinkles — blue and red sanding sugar
- Food-safe paint brush
- Powdered sugar
- Pastry brush
- Paring knife
- Rey and Kylo pie design template — DOWNLOAD
- Star Wars logo file — DOWNLOAD
- Cricut Explore Air 2 or similar cutting machine
- Card stock paper
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
First, access the Star Wars pie design and logo files from the list above. Use a Cricut or similar cutting machine to cut the main file out on card stock paper at 11.6 inches width for a 10 inch pie pan. For the Star Wars logo file, cut the file on card stock paper at 6.2 inches width.
Roll out one of your refrigerated pie crusts on a clean surface. Using the out piece of the stencil (see below), cut out the circle by tracing the inner shape of your cutout.
Carefully transfer the circle of dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will serve as the base of your pie, or your “canvas”, so to speak.






While the top of your pie cools, it’s time to prep the bottom of your pie. I chose to make a blueberry pie to give the background a dark galaxy-vibe.
Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees for your pie.
For your blueberry pie filling, place your fresh blueberries, cinnamon, salt, and corn starch in a bowl and mix well.
Place your third pie crust roll in your pie pan and fill it with an even layer of blueberries. Cut up your butter and place small pieces on the blueberry mixture. Bake the base of your pie for 40-50 minutes. Note, I like to place my pie pan on top of a cookie sheet while it bakes in case any pie filling bubbles over.
Remove your pie from the oven once the timer dings and quickly get to work to decorate the final touches.
First, sprinkle blue sanding sugar on the left top side of the pie. On the right side of the pie, sprinkle red sanding sugar. Next, sprinkle powdered sugar in the center of the pie (near where Rey and Kylo’s silhouettes will be).
While the pie is still hot, transfer your Star Wars pie design onto the top of your blueberry pie. *Gently* press down on your top pie piece to form a seal between it and the pear pie bottom.
Once your pie is cool, touch up your lightsaber blades by painting with additional food coloring, if needed.



I hope you enjoyed the Star Wars Baking Challenge as much as I did! I loved making each recipe, and I am nowhere near done baking Star Wars treats. 🙂
This looks too pretty to eat.
Will the powdered sugar melt or is it best to do it right before serving?

Sorry for the delay! I did wait for the pie to cool some before adding the sanding sugar/sprinkles and powdered sugar. As a result, I had no issue with it melting! Hope this helps!
You are so talented! I love all the unique things you do!!!!
I love this! Your creations are always so amazing, Monica!
