Fresh Berry Cardamom Cream Pie Food

BERRY CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the shortening and pulse a few times until coarse crumbs form. Pulse in the butter until just combined with some pea-size pieces remaining. Pulse in the vinegar and 2 tablespoons ice water until the dough starts to come together but is still crumbly, adding up to 2 more tablespoons ice water if needed. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and pat into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and allspice in a medium bowl. Work in the butter with your fingers until clumps form. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the pie.
• Make the filling: Combine the berries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, tapioca, cinnamon, cardamom and salt in a large bowl; toss well.
• Place a baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface; ease into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edge. Refrigerate until firm, at least 20 minutes.
• Pour the berry filling into the crust and sprinkle evenly with the crumb topping. Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheet and bake 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking, rotating the pie halfway through, until the crust and topping are browned and the filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if the pie is browning too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

EASY BERRIES AND CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Roll the puff pastry into an 11-inch square. Invert a 9-inch pie plate onto the center of the square and use a paring knife to cut a circle about half an inch larger than the edge of the pie plate (save the scraps for another use). Put the circle into the pie plate. Bake until the pastry rises into a golden dome, 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately use the bottom of a heat-safe measuring cup to pat down the pastry into the bottom and sides until flat, making a crust (some small pieces of puff pastry will flake off; this is fine). Let cool completely.
• Make the filling: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Pour in the cream and beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (take care not to overbeat).
• Spread the jam out on the bottom of the crust and then scrape the cream filling on top of it. Spread out into an even layer. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Top with berries, cut into slices and serve.

• Place the softened ice cream in a large bowl and fold in the berry mixture.
• *If you prefer, you could just drizzle the sauce on top of individual servings of ice cream*.

FRESH BERRY VODKA SLUSH

Steps:

• Mix everything together in a clean ice cream pail.
• Put into the freezer.
• Stir every couple of hours.
• Once this is frozen to a nice slush consistency, spoon 45 ml.(or more) into a tall glass. Top with club soda, gingerale, or 7-up.
• You could substitute strawberries for a strawberry slush, but you'll want to use strawberry koolaid instead.

TRIPLE BERRY CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• In a bowl, mix flour and salt. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter and shortening until crumbly. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons ice water; mix with a fork just until dough forms a ball (add water if needed). Form into a disk, wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes. On a floured surface roll out the dough into an 11" round. Fit into a 9" pie pan and crimp edge. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• Line crust with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake for 6 minutes, remove foil and bake until lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
• In a bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with a mixer on high speed. Beat in cream and vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl, until fluffy and well-mixed. In another bowl, gently mix berries.
• Spoon two-thirds of cream mixture into crust; smooth top. Spoon two-thirds of berries over cream. Mound remaining cream in center and top with remaining berries. Chill overnight.
