How to Make Berry Cream Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Gently toss 4 cups of your favorite berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, or a mix) with 2 tablespoons of sugar in an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
- Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs and 1 cup sour cream until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the berries in the pie crust.
- For the topping: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup cold butter (cut into small pieces), and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the pie filling.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool completely before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
