Mini Blueberry Cream Cheese Pies for #SundaySupper

Mini Blueberry Cream Cheese Pies | Magnolia Days

The restaurant looked promising online. We arrived to find it overflowing with people. The wait was well over an hour. We headed to the bar after we put our name on the list. Wine was ordered and someone mentioned the tables around the bar were first come first serve. Right then the people at the table next to where we were standing got up. We filled those seats faster than the speed of sound (or it seemed that way). The dinner exceeded every expectation. We decided to have dessert to end the meal. The waiter brought a rack of mini desserts in small glasses. It’s those little bites that inspired my mini blueberry cream cheese pies.

Notice the pies are in jars. It’s because the theme for this week’s Sunday Supper are recipes inspired by the Desserts in Jars cookbook by Shaina Olmanson. It’s easy to be inspired by the book. Shaina gives tips and suggestions for utilizing different kinds of jars for desserts. First I had to figure out what jars to use. Then I had the idea of spice jars. Next was deciding on a recipe. I was in the mood for blueberries so I adapted the one for my cherry cream cheese pie.

The fun was getting the pies into the jars. I spooned in the crust and shook the jars around to get the crust even. I did not bother with pressing down the crust. I used a piping bag with a big round tip for the cream cheese filling. A thin spoon worked for adding the blueberry topping. They are pretty little single-serving pies with a crumbly crust, creamy filling, and fruity topping.

These are seriously gorgeous woman. I would eat a boatload of these. I am still scratching my head how I missed the jar theme. Gotta love busy summers and Alberta floods. I wish I had jumped on board this one.

I wondered how you missed the jar theme too. You do amaze me with your layering and piping abilities.
