Blackberries and Cream Pie

Sharing is caring!

Simple ingredients, stunning results. You won’t believe how easy this blackberries and cream pie is to make, nor the creamy and decadent pie that you’ll get in return for so little work. This recipe will make it straight to your keeper file the first time you make it! That’s what happened to me.

I picked so many blackberries this year. I’ve been trying out a ton of  fun new blackberry recipes to share with you, but this pie has been my favorite so far. I  got this blackberries and cream pie from a lady at my church named Rhonda and the second that I tasted it, I knew I had to put it on AHB. Luckily for us, even though this is a unique family recipe that’s been in her family for generations, she said yes! 

It just takes 6 ingredients to make this pie and I made a video tutorial to show you how easy this comes together.

You’ll need: 

  • Blackberries, fresh or frozen
  • One pie crust
  • Flour
  • Cinnamon
  • Sugar
  • Cream

To make your pie, prepare your pie crust. You can use a homemade pie crust recipe or store bought, for the pie in the pictures I just used a store bought crust. 

Place the pie crust in a 9 inch deep dish pie pan and pinch the edges to give it a scalloped appearance.
Dump the blackberries into the unbaked pie crust. You’ll need approximately 3 cups fresh or frozen blackberries. There’s no need to thaw the blackberries if you’re using frozen, just dump them in and set the pie pan aside. Frozen blackberries are added to the piecrust.

Next you’ll make the filling for the pie. Simply whisk together ¼ cup all purpose flour with a teaspoon of cinnamon, ⅔ cup of sugar and one cup of heavy cream. A green mixing bowl with the ingredients to make the filling for the pie.

No substitutions! Pour this mixture over the berries and make sure they are all evenly covered. Your pie will need to bake at 350 degrees for an hour, but you’ll probably want to add foil around the edges or a pie crust shield half way through to keep the crust from becoming  too browned.

At the end of the baking time. Allow the pie to cool completely and then refrigerate it until it’s cold before serving.

Many thanks to Rhonda for allowing me to share this slice of heaven with you! She advises that this recipe also works great with blueberries and fresh cherries.

I got this recipe from my mother in the 1960s. We make it with peeled fresh peach slices or halves.
