Ingredients for Berry Cream Pie

  • Blueberries
  • Pie Crusts
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

How to Make Berry Cream Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs and 1 cup sour cream until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the berries in the pie crust.
  8. 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.
  9. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the pie filling.
  10. 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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
