Looking for a scrumptious dessert to serve at Fourth of July this year? Why don’t you make a patriotic berry pie??
These are mini pies and they are delicious!
Mini Triple Berry Pies
Makes four servings
- pie crust (I used frozen pre-made from Trader Joe’s, or here is my recipe for dough)
- 4 cups mixed berries (I did 1 1/3 cup each of fresh blackberries, raspberries and blueberries)
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- juice of half a lemon
- Preheat oven to 375F Convection or 400F standard.
- Let the dough thaw if it is frozen. For the pies, I used four 5″ tart pans with removable bottoms. I simply traced a rough circle in the dough around each mini pan, leaving about 1/2 inch on all sides. Then pat the dough into the pans, removing the excess crust that falls over the edge.
- Make the filling: mix the berries, corn starch, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice together. Set aside.
- Fill each pie with about 1/2 cup of filling.
- Decorate the tops of the pies as you’d like. I had fun stamping out leaves, stars, flowers and then did a weave. For a lower calorie version, simply skip putting extras on the top.
- Place the mini pies on a baking sheet (preferably with an edge – I did a plain cookie sheet and it bubbled over onto my oven)
Bake at 375F Convection (or 400F Standard) for 15 minutes and then turn oven down to 350F and bake for another 20-25 minutes until crust is golden and brown. If the crust is browning too quickly, you may place some foil over the edges.
Serve with vanilla ice cream OR cinnamon whipped cream! I have a whipped cream maker (which I LOOOOOVE, get it here on Amazon, the first link was Sur La Table) and use this simple recipe to make cinnamon whipped cream. 2 cups heavy cream, 1/4 cup Monin’s Cinnamon syrup. Pour into the bottle, use an aerosol charger and… shake shake shake! voila! Instant FRESH cinnamon whipped cream. It’s good.

I am drooling thinking about these again! 
Also, if you regularly follow my blog, I’ll be decreasing my posting during the Summer because Summer blog traffic always goes down as everyone is outside (including me!!)
