Ingredients:
For the Pie Crust:
- All-purpose flour: 2 1/2 cups
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter, cold and cubed: 1 cup (2 sticks)
- Ice water: 6-8 tablespoons
Fruit Topping:
- Fresh cherries, pitted and halved: 2 cups
- Fresh raspberries: 1 cup
- Granulated sugar: 1/2 cup
- Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon
- Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- Cream cheese, softened: 8 Oz
- Powdered sugar: 1/2 cup
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Instructions:
For the Pie Crust:
- Take a large bowl, mix the salt and flour. Add the cubed, cold butter into the flour and mix it properly using your hands.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough starts to come together after mixing. You may not need all 8 tablespoons. Avoid over mixing.
- Split the dough into two equal slices, form each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Fruit Topping:
- In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, cherries, corn starch, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Cook over moderate heat for about 5–7 minutes, stirring repeatedly, until the mixture stiffens and the fruit becomes softer. Take it out of the heat and let it cool.
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- In another bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese until smooth and frothy.
Assembling the Pie:
- Lightly dust the surface with flour to fit you pie dish and roll out one of the chilled pie crusts on it. Gently place it into the dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
- Spread the cream cheese filling equally above the bottom crust.
- Sprinkle the chilled fruit coating above the cream cheese layer.
Finishing Touches:
- Take a small bowl; make an egg wash by beating the egg and water. Brush the top layer with the egg wash for a golden texture.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is fizzy.
- Take the pie out of the oven and allow it to cool on a wire stand for at least an hour before serving.
Serve your delicious fruit-topped pie with cherries and raspberries at normal temperature. It’s impeccable for any event, and the mishmash of sweet cream cheese and tart fruit topping is guaranteed to delight your taste buds. Enjoy!
