Cream Cheese Blackberry Pie (video)

blackberry and cream cheese pie

After blueberry pie, blackberry pie is my second favorite! This blackberry and cream cheese pie will not be beat! It’s packed full of sweet blackberries and filled with a lemon-y cream cheese! And nothing beats a homemade butter crust; this one is golden and perfect! This tasty and fruity pie is the perfect summertime dessert!

All Butter Pie Crust

This blackberry pie is simply better with a homemade pie crust! I love to make my own pie crust from scratch and I always use all-butter. I find the butter makes the crust super flaky and delicious; plus, the food processor does all the hard work for you. If you’re in a pinch for time, store-bought pre-made crust will also work. Check out my in-depth video tutorial on ‘How to Make a Pie Crust’ here!

Cream Cheese & Blackberry Filling

The cream cheese filling for this blackberry pie is simply made with cream cheese, lemon zest and a little bit of lemon juice, plus sugar. This combination of cheese and lemon adds incredible flavor to the pie. Then just top with the berries and into the oven! I used a non-traditional method for this video recipe and prepared the pie in a springform pan, but a regular pie pan will also work well. You can also play around with the top pie crust, creating a lattice or cutout to make this blackberry pie even better!

Allow the pie to cool down for a few hours, then serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or vanilla whipped cream! Refrigerate any leftover for later!

Cream Cheese Blackberry Pie Recipe (video)

30 minutes prep + 1 hour 30 minutes cook
8 servings
Fruity blackberry pie with cream cheese filling and all-butter pie crust!

Ingredients 

For Butter Pie Crust:

  • 1 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup very cold butter

For Filling:

  • 8 ounce brick of cream cheese
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 3 cups blackberries
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 egg, beaten; for egg wash
  • large sugar crystals for crust garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the crust first: into a food processor, add the flour, sugar, salt and butter. Pulse mixture until butter is broken down into small crumbs. Slowly add the water and pulse until dough comes together into a ball. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead just until dough is smooth. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the fillings. Place softened cream cheese into mixer bowl and whisk on high speed for several minutes until light and fluffy. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest and confectioner’s sugar; whisk until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, toss together the blackberries with 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch; set aside.
  • Roll out chilled dough on floured work surface into a large circle, large enough to have 2-3 inches of hang over. If using a spring form pan, line it with parchment paper; or use a regular pie dish. Transfer dough into pan and leave extra dough around edges.
  • Fill pie with cream cheese mixture, followed by blackberries. Fold dough over the edges to create a rough edge. Brush the top of the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar crystals.
  • Bake in oven preheated to 350F until edges are golden brown; mine was in the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove pie from oven and let it cool at room temperature for 3-4 hours, then refrigerate if not serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
