Finnish Blueberry Pie (Mustikkapiirakka)
Jun 08, 2024 01:57 AM
This Finnish blueberry pie, mustikkapiirakka, is an easy and delicious combination of a cookie-like base, juicy blueberries and a sour cream cheesecake-y topping. It's quick to prepare with just a few ingredients and makes a tasty treat that's a great summery dessert.
I'm sure part of the reason we don't have desserts, particularly the likes of cakes and pies, all that often, is that they are typically sized for more than our little household. But when we are having people over, I like to use it as an excuse to change that. It's a great way to enjoy something we wouldn't often have otherwise. Plus, they can be great for entertaining.
Since this pie is a little cheesecake-like, it's one you make ahead of time, so it's ideal to have ready before people come over. Plus, it looks pretty, tastes great, and is surprisingly easy to make (which your guests don't need to know about).
