Mason Jar Fresh Berry Pie

Serving: 8
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 package refrigerator pie crust

1/4 cup whipping cream (plus 1 cup reserved for topping)

8 ounces mascarpone cheese

1/4 cup lemon curd

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries and blueberries

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375º. Roll out pie crusts into 11-inch circles and cut into quarters. Using one quarter of the crust, gently mold each quarter into 4-ounce mason jars, securing edges of crust on the mason jar sides and rim. Cut excess crust from edge and reserve. Edge of crust should be uneven and rustic in appearance.

Step 2

Arrange mason jars on rimmed baking tray and place in oven. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown. Remove and let cool.

Step 3

If desired, gather and roll out excess pie crust. Use a small star-shaped cutter to make star cookies. If desired, dust top of cookies with colored sugar. Bake 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Combine 1/4 cup whipping cream and mascarpone cheese in mixer. Blend until smooth. Add lemon curd and zest. Continue beating until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Fill mason jars evenly with cheese mixture and top with berries.

Step 6

Whip additional whipping cream and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Top pies with whipping cream and star cookie.
