So, I’ve made mini blueberry pies before. However, this time I made the crust from scratch! I always love making bite-size desserts for a small party or get-together. It’s so much easier for people to eat in a crowd! For this recipe, I used Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk flavor Power Cakes mix for a piecrust, and filled each pie with blueberry! Serve these with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. YUM!
Recipe: (makes 10 mini pies)
- 2 cups Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes mix
- ¾ cup (1 & ½ stick) very cold butter, diced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup ice water
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup sugar
- juice from 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg
- turbinado sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Combine Kodiak Cakes mix, salt and sugar into a bowl and mix
- Add very cold butter and Kodiak Cakes mixture to a food processor
- Pulse until mixture becomes crumbly
- Add ice water slowly until dough forms together
- Remove dough onto a floured surface, and form into a ball
- Wrap in plastic wrap or wax paper and place in the refrigerator
- In the meantime, add blueberries to a sauce pan
- Add lemon juice and sugar
- Bring to a boil and stir frequently until all the blueberries pop and mixture becomes more of a liquid
- Add cornstarch, mix until combined and remove from heat to let cool
- Remove pie dough from the fridge, and place on a floured surface
- Roll dough out until about ¼ inch thick
- Cut and place into greased mini pie molds
- Fill each pie mold with blueberry filling (about ¾ full)
- Cut a piece of dough big enough to cover each pie, and cut the extra dough off
- Make slits in the top of each pie for venting (I cut out a star in the middle of the top of each pie before placing on top, and then cut slits)
- Beat egg in a small bowl with about 1 tablespoon water
- Brush the top of each pie with egg wash
- Sprinkle turbinado sugar on each pie
- Place all pie molds on a large baking sheet
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until pies are golden brown on top (if you’re making a larger pie, longer baking time is needed)
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream… or BOTH! Enjoy!
