BLUEBERRIES-AND-CREAM SLAB PIE

Steps:

• For the pastry: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until you have something that resembles coarse meal with a few larger pea-sized pieces of butter. Add 6 tablespoons ice water and stir with a fork. If you can squeeze the mixture together in your hands, you have added enough water; if not, add a little more. The dough will look shaggy. Knead the dough with your hands a couple times in the bowl to get it to start to come together. Tip the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Use the edges of the plastic wrap to help gather the dough and form it into a flat rectangle. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• For the fillings: In a large saucepan, combine the blueberries, 1/2 cup of the sugar, 3 tablespoons of the cornstarch and the salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have released some juice and the sauce is thick, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool completely.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, lemon zest and the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg yolk. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water.
• On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 12 by 14 inches. Trim the ragged edges. (Pop the dough in the fridge to chill if it has gotten too soft.) Spread the cream cheese filling on the right half of the dough rectangle, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border around the edges. Top with the cooled blueberry filling. Brush the border with the egg wash. Use the parchment to lift the left half of the dough over the filling. Use a fork to seal the edges. Using the parchment, transfer the pie to a baking sheet. Brush the top with more egg wash and sprinkle with the sanding sugar if using. Use a small paring knife to cut a few small slits in the top to vent the pie. Bake until golden brown and set, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool before slicing.

BLUEBERRIES AND CREAM PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. In a small bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs and butter until crumbly. Press mixture into your favorite pie dish, make sure to keep it even and cover the sides well. Bake for 10 minutes, and set aside to cool completely.
• 2. To make the syrup, put the blueberries, sugar and water in a pot, and bring to a boil, turn down the heat slightly, and allow to simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. (Nigella Lawson says "never stir a sugar syrup while its on the heat, that's how crystals form" So swirl the pot several times while its simmering to mix. Take it off the heat and allow to cool.
• 3. In a medium bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Set aside. In another bowl, or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in a few small batches. Spread the cream mixture in the cooled crust and allow to set in the fridge for a few hours to firm up. Slice and serve with blueberry syrup, pass out seconds, and thank me later.
• 4. ** Variations: If you make a deep dish pie, you can use 2 blocks of cream cheese for a denser pie, or 1 1/2 cups heavy cream for a lighter pie. Instead of blueberry syrup, add fresh strawberries or peaches to the top!**

BLUEBERRIES AND CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Rinse berries and pick out any undesirable ones. After the berries have drained and are somewhat dry pour them into the pastry shell. In a small bowl combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the milk and 1/2 cup of the whipping cream, whisk until smooth. Pour over the berries and bake for 45 minutes. After about 30 minutes, you may want to cover the edges of the crust with foil if the pastry looks like it's getting too dark. Cool on a wire rack and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Optional topping: Beat 1/2 cup of very cold whipping cream with 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract to top the pie before serving.
