Fresh Blackberries with Flaky Pie Crust Flowers

This recipe is a something I tossed together for a quick dessert.

I had cut leftover pie crust from my slab pie into 1 1/2 inch flower shapes and baked them. The little flower shapes were buttery, crisp and crunchy which made them a delicious topping for fresh berries.

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 2 cups of fresh blackberries
• 2 tablespoons of sugar (I used dark turbinado sugar.)
• 1/8 cup of heavy cream
• 16 to 18 1 1/2 inch flower shaped baked flaky pie crust

Tools:

2 bowls, strainer

Instructions

1. Put the blackberries in the strainer and wash them. Pick out any leaves or stems.
2. Let the berries drain for 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Put 1 cup of berries in each bowl.
4. Pour 1/8 cup of cream over the berries in each bowl.
5. Sprinkle 1 tablespoons of sugar over the berries in each bowl.
6. Decorate the tops of the berries in each bowl with 8 to 9 flaky pie crusts flowers.

Notes:

Any type of fresh berry should work.

Do not use frozen or thawed berries.
