Using frozen berries means you can make this easy pie year-round. Precooking the filling means you get perfect consistency (no more runny pies) and the cook time on the crust is perfect! I prefer to spell things in the top crust like "I love you."

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9-inch double-crust pie
8 cups frozen mixed berries
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup berry-flavored liqueur (such as Whidbey)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon half-and-half
1 large egg yolk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 of the pie crusts.
  • Combine berries, sugar, cornstarch, liqueur, and lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as berries thaw and the mixture thickens, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat when it reaches the consistency of a runny jam or a sundae fruit topping.
  • Pour the mixture into the pie crust. Moisten the edge of the crust with cold water, top with the second crust, and seal by pinching. Poke at least 3 holes in the top crust.
  • Whip half-and-half and egg yolk together in a bowl with a fork. Brush over pie crust. Place pie on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool so filling becomes solid, about 1 hour.

This recipe makes two attractive pies using store-bought chocolate crumb crust. I work full-time, so I like the fact that this yummy pie can be made ahead. I serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream, a strawberry and chocolate curls.

Tips:

  • To ensure your pie crust is flaky and golden brown, use a combination of butter, shortening, and ice water. The butter will add flavor, while the shortening will help keep the crust tender and flaky. The ice water will help prevent the gluten in the flour from developing too much, which would make the crust tough.
  • When filling your pie crust, don't overfill it. Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges so that the filling has room to bubble up and expand during baking.
  • To prevent the top crust from becoming too brown, cover it with foil or a pie crust shield during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
  • Let your pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
  • Serve your pie with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite topping.

Frozen berry pies are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a pie that is both beautiful and delicious. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give frozen berry pie a try!
