Ingredients
Crust
- 1-1/4 cup Four
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 3 ounces Cream Cheese
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 3-4 Tablespoons Ice Water
Filling
- 5 cup Mulberries
- 1-1/2 cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 3 Tablespoons Minute Tapioca
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- Zest of 1 Lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Almond Extract
Topping
- 1 Tablespoon Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
Directions
Crust
- Using either a pastry blender or food processor, mix together the flour, butter, cream cheese, sugar, and salt until a well combined. It should be somewhere between sand and peas in size and texture.
- Slowly add ice water to the mixture 1 tablespoon at a time using only your fingertips to mix. Continue adding water until the mixture starts to come together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and freeze 15 minutes.
- Roll the dough out onto a floured surface. Turn the dough 1/4 turn between each roll to help create a more uniform shape. Roll to about 1/8 inch thick and place in the bottom of a pie plate or round baking dish.
Filling
- Mix all filling ingredients together in a large bowl. Blend well until the mixture looks uniform. Add filling to crust.
- Fold the edges of the crust over the filling. Do not worry about them not looking smooth on the edges: this is an easy no fuss dessert.
Topping
- Brush the top of the crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake 350°F for 75 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool completely before serving.
- Slice and enjoy! Great with vanilla ice cream!!
