These Blackberry Cream Cheese Pie Dippers are a flaky pie crust filled with creamy blackberry cream cheese spread and baked until golden and crispy!
Are you all pie fans? I mean who doesn’t love a good old pie? Honestly, I’ve never been the biggest pie fan out there. Weird I know, no judging. Like I said before, I’m more of a cake girl, but give me some of these delicious Pie Dippers and I’m SOLD! They are a mix of the traditional pie and hand pies if I had to compare them to anything!
These little hand-held treats are so fun and simple to make that they look more elegant than they really are. It takes pie eating to a whole new level. Dip these bad boys in some creamy glaze dipping sauce and you are ready to go.
Oh and these are a little less mess for the little ones and easier to eat as well.
I’ve been on a berry kick lately. If you’ve missed some of my berry recipes you can check some out here, here and here. Let’s just say that I’m in no short supply on recipes that include fruit in them.
Since I’m not the biggest fruit eater plain, I’m happy that I have some go to recipes that let’s me bake with them instead.
Flaky crust is filled with a delicious blackberry and cream cheese mixture, topped with more pie crust, egg washed and sprinkled with some decorators sugar to give it a nice sweet crispy bite to the top.
Now I can’t say that this will be your new go to pie recipe, but these Blackberry Cream Cheese Pie Dippers will be your new go to pie alternative recipe for sure! Switch up the flavors and just have some fun with this!

Could you use blueberries? I live in the desert and blackberries are rather scarce. These look awesome!
Tornadough Alli
Yes you should be able to swap with blueberries.

Hi! Was wondering what size pan did you use? And…can by any chance use frozen blackberries?

Hi Margaret, I used an rimmed jelly roll pan that was 11.5″×15″. You can use that or a round pizza pan. I baked these in batches as only 1 would fit on a pan at one. You certainly can use frozen blackberries, they might just take a little longer reducing because of the added water from being frozen.

Alli, we were both featured on the Wednesday Showcase! I love pie and all things pie-like, so I’d grab a couple of these any time of day! No dip for me, though, just the dippers (I always scrape off frosting!). Fruit and cream cheese means I could call these breakfast, too!

Hi Pat, unfortunately I haven’t tried it with any other fruits. I do use the method with raspberries so they should work. But other than that I haven’t tried with anything else.
