It snuck up on me as always, but somehow Memorial Day Weekend is already here! If you’re hosting, heading to a BBQ, or just looking for a festive little treat to enjoy on your porch, I’ve got you covered with the easiest 20-minute berry pie. It’s bright, fresh, and full of summer flavor, perfect for kicking off the long weekend.
The original version is pretty dairy-heavy, but if you’re avoiding it, don’t worry, I usually make it with Kite Hill dairy-free cream cheese and So Delicious Cocowhip, and honestly? No one can tell the difference. It’s a total crowd-pleaser either way.
20-minute berry pie
Makes 6-8 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 frozen pie crust or 1 package, sugar cookie dough
- 2 Tbs, strawberry jam
- 2 Tbs, lemon juice
- 1 cup, strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 package, room temp cream cheese
- 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 cups, Cool Whip
- Flour to sprinkle on parchment paper
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper
- Roll cookie dough out on the parchment into a large circle
- Slide the parchment (with the dough) onto a baking sheet
- Bake 15-18 mins, until golden brown
- If you’re using a pie crust, just bake the pie crust for 10-12 minutes but be sure to poke holes in it with a fork first or it will bubble up.
- While dough/pie crust is baking, whisk lemon juice and jam.
- Add berries and toss to coat
- With an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add Cool Whip/Coco Whip and beat to combine.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled cookie/pie crust and top with the berries.
- Enjoy!
Looks great! Have you been able to find a crust alternative that’s made without milk as well?
I haven’t! I suppose you could do a dairy free cookie dough or homemade pie crust.
Hi Ladies! I found a pecan bases ‘ready to use’ pie crust, Diamond brand (baking isle).
Awesome! Will keep an eye out for that.
love this recipe! Looks so pretty and so easy to make! Great projects for kids learning to cook and bake! I hope that we’ll be able to go strawberry and blueberry picking safely this summer- great spots in Fairfield County to pick!
Amalia has loved baking and cooking with me more lately. I can’t wait to cook with stuff from our garden so she can see the full process ground to plate!!
How is this a ten minute pie if the crust alone bakes for 15 minutes? Are you just naming it that for SEO clicks?
You got me! 🙂 just kidding. I could have named it 15 minute pie for the same SEO results no?? I was referring to the prep sorry if that was unclear!
Ok, yum!! I have a gluten free pie crust in the freezer, and was going to make another apple pie, but I think this will be the winner this weekend!! Adding some lemon zest would take the flavor to the next level, too!! Thanks for sharing, Julia! I hope you and your fam can have a fun long weekend 🙂
