Mini Blueberry Marscarpone Pies Recipes

MINI BLUEBERRY-MARSCARPONE PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set out six 6-inch mini pie tins.
• Roll dough out and cut a circle to fit the bottom and sides of a pie tin. Place crust in the tin, then crimp the edges and poke the bottoms and sides with a fork. Continue, re-rolling the dough as necessary, to make remaining crusts.
• Place a round piece of parchment paper on top of each crust and add pie weights.
• Bake crusts in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove the weights and parchment paper. Let crusts cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• While the crusts are cooling, blend 2 cups blueberries and lemon juice in a blender until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a small saucepan and add gelatin. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin has completely dissolved, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Stir mascarpone cheese and 1/4 cup sugar into the cooled blueberry mixture until well combined.
• Beat 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla with an electric mixer until foamy, about 30 seconds. Increase speed slowly to medium-high and gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Gradually fold whipped cream mixture into the blueberry mixture. Spoon evenly into the cooled pie crusts.
• Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• When ready to serve, whip remaining remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla together. Slowly mix in 1 tablespoon sugar until whipped cream forms.
• Top each pie with whipped cream and blueberries.

MINI BLUEBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Onto a flat work surface lightly dusted with flour, unfold one sheet of puffed pastry. Lightly dust the surface of the pastry with flour. With a rolling pin, lightly roll until square spreads to the size of a 12" x 12" square. Slice into eight evenly sized squares. Gently tuck squares into eight muffin cups, leaving the four corners of the squares loose at the top.
• In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, flour, sugar, vanilla and water.
• Spoon blueberry mixture into the pastry-lined muffin cups, filling each cup 2/3 full. Loosely fold the corners of the exposed pastry over the berry mixture.
• With a pastry brush, brush melted butter over each pie. Then dust each with sugar.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pie tops are lightly browned and puffed-crisp.
• Cool for 1-2 hours. Wait until the pies are sufficiently cool before removing from the pan. If necessary, use a butter knife to gently work around the outside of each to remove.

MINI BERRY PIES

Steps:

• Unfold piecrusts on work surface. Using top of a 3-inch aluminum pie tin as a template, add 1/4 inch all around and use a knife to cut out seven rounds. Make a vent in center of each round with a 1/2-inch heart-shape cutter. Set crusts aside.
• Stir together berries, cornstarch, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Divide mixture among seven 3-inch aluminum pie tins. Top each with a crust; use fingers to crimp sides so they stop just before edge of tin. Beat egg with 1 teaspoon water. Brush crusts lightly with egg wash; sprinkle with sugar. Freeze pies 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake until golden and juices are bubbling, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

• Using a pastry blended cut the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs; stir in nuts.
• Separate the dough into 8 biscuits.
• Split each biscuit in half to make 16 rounds.
• Using floured fingers flatten each to form a 4-inch round.
• Press each round into muffin cup.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons pie filling into each biscuit-lined cup.
• Sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons flour/cinnamon mix (cups will be full).
• Bake for 15-22 minutes or until golden brown.
• Cool 5 minutes, then remove from muffin tins.

MINI WILD BLUEBERRY CREAM PIES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preparation Place cupcake liners into a 12-count cupcake tin. Set aside. Using your food processor, combine the dates, walnuts, oats and salt and process until a coarse sand-like texture forms. You should be able to squeeze the mixture in your hand and have it stick together. Once ready, place about one tablespoon of crust mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner and flatten out with your fingers so it covers the bottom like a crust (it should be well packed). Set aside. Using a hand or stand mixer, make the filling by first whipping the cream. Once small peaks form, add the confectioner's sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla and whip again on low until combined. Remove cream from the mixer bowl and set aside. To the bowl add the mascarpone cheese, Greek yogurt, and 1 tsp. vanilla. Whip until well combined. Once well combined, fold in the whipped cream and the frozen Wild Blueberries using a silicone spatula working from the bottom of the bowl and combine well. Scoop out enough filling to fill each cupcake tin (you may have a bit left over). Place in freezer until ready to eat, allowing 10-15 minutes to thaw. Store leftover pies in the freezer.
