Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups fresh mulberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar (for mulberries)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 cups water
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
To make the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides evenly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden and set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mulberries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir to dissolve the cornstarch.
Cook the mulberry mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and forms a jam-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust.
Once the mulberry mixture has cooled to room temperature, spread it over the cream layer, creating an even topping.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to ensure it sets properly.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
