Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons cardamom powder
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 2 cups fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 0.25 cups apricot preserves (optional, for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon water (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar, cardamom powder, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cardamom cream filling evenly over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Arrange the fresh mixed berries over the top of the cream filling in an even layer.
If desired, prepare the glaze by heating the apricot preserves and water together in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly before gently brushing it over the berries to give them a glossy finish.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
