Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup butter, room temperature
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup heavy cream, whipped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
⅔ cup white sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
½ cup water
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
3 cups fresh or frozen huckleberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh huckleberries. Fresh huckleberries have the best flavor, but you can also use frozen or canned huckleberries if fresh are not available.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the pie to slice cleanly.

Conclusion:

Cheese huckleberry pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give cheese huckleberry pie a try.
