Mini Blueberry Galettes with Brown Sugar Mascarpone Cream
These are my blueberry galettes with brown sugar mascarpone cream and a hint of orange. They’re crisp, flaky, fruity and creamy. The orange just hums along in the background really marrying the blueberries with the brown sugar in the cream. I piped a thin layer of cream cheese underneath the filling to give it a bit of a cheesecake vibe. A lovely alternative to a big pie and quite pretty I think.
Cherry Lemon Meringue Pie
Flaky golden pie crust, smooth and creamy baked lemon filling and a bright purple cherry compote. All finished with a delightfully light torched italian meringue. The perfect seasonal lemon meringue pie.
Strawberry Jam Cornflake Pie
Flaky pastry, fruity strawberry jam, sweet sugary cornflakes and a soft whipped cream. A slice that tastes like a big bowl of fruity cereal and milk. She’s fancy with her frilly piping but still a wholesome and humble pie. I made this in my extra deep 9-inch pie dish because I wanted her to be T-H-I-C-K. She’s exactly what I envisioned. And my big fat slice of pie craving has well and truly been satisfied.
Autumnal Custard & Cardamom Plum Hand Pies
It’s such a treat to have something so rustic and beautiful bubbling away in the oven. With their rich buttery aromas wafting through the house, I can’t think of a more perfect excuse to spend the day tinkering around your kitchen. I’ve paired a silky vanilla bean custard and honey cardamom plum compote for a lovely seasonal filling. I’ve used Erin McDowell’s famous pie dough as you can’t beat it! I love these for breakfast, an afternoon pick me up or dessert.
