Categories     Desserts

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Dough for double-crust pie
CHEESE FILLING:
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
BLUEBERRY FILLING:
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
6 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, divided
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint or 1 teaspoon dried mint
1 large egg white, beaten

Steps:

  • On a floured surface, roll each dough disk to fit a 9-in. deep-dish cast-iron or other cast-iron skillet. Line skillet with bottom crust. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond edge of skillet; flute edges. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce heat to 375°., In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk until blended. Spread into crust., In a large saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour and cornstarch; stir in water until smooth. Stir in 2 cups berries. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Cool slightly. Gently stir in the lemon juice, mint and remaining berries. Pour over cheese filling., Cut decorative cutouts from remaining crust; arrange over filling, leaving center uncovered. Brush crust with egg white; sprinkle with remaining sugar., Bake at 375° until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 35-40 minutes. If necessary, cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:

  • Prepare the Crust in Advance: To save time, make the pie crust a day ahead and chill it overnight.
  • Use Cold Ingredients for the Crust: Keep the butter, shortening, and water as cold as possible when making the pie crust. This will help prevent the gluten in the flour from developing too much, resulting in a tender and flaky crust.
  • Don't Overwork the Crust: When mixing the ingredients for the crust, be careful not to overwork it. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the Crust Before Baking: After shaping the pie crust, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the Crust at a High Temperature: To achieve a golden brown and crispy crust, bake it at a high temperature (425°F) for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F for the remaining baking time.
  • Use Fresh Fruit: For the best flavor, use fresh fruit in your dream pie. If using frozen fruit, thaw it completely and drain off any excess moisture before adding it to the filling.
  • Sweeten the Filling to Taste: The amount of sugar you add to the filling will depend on the sweetness of the fruit you are using. Taste the filling before baking and adjust the sugar accordingly.
  • Let the Pie Cool Before Serving: Once the pie is baked, let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

The dream pie is a versatile and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy filling, flaky crust, and variety of fruit options, it's the perfect pie for any occasion. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe will guide you through the process of creating a delicious and impressive dream pie that will surely be a hit at your next gathering. So, preheat your oven and let's get baking!
