Blueberry Jello Pie + 3 Ingredient, Perfect Crust Tutorial

  There's only one thing I love more than my grandma. Her blueberry pie.
 Just kidding, I love her more. But this pie is a serious rival for any of my loved ones.
 The blueberries bursting in your mouth, the real whipped cream fluffing up your cheeks, and the flaky, buttery crust.
  Actually, the crust is my creation. And it's so very perfect. I love it like it was my own son.
  And I want to share with you the secrets of making a pie crust that doesn't fall apart, but instead stands in glory and majesty until the last delicious bite.
  So, crust first.

What you will need:

1 Stick of Butter
1 Cup of Flour (Or Gluten Free 1/2 Cup White Rice 1/2 Cup Brown Rice Flour)
1 Pinch of Salt
1/4 Cup Cold water
9.5 Inch Pie Plate (Normal size)
1 Egg (Beaten)

What you will do:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Use pastry blender to cut cold butter into the flour. It should be clumpy.
Next, add water a tablespoon at a time until you squeeze it in your hand and it retains its form, like so:

Wrap it in a sheet of Saran wrap and freeze about 5 minutes

Roll out between two sheets of Saran wrap. Never mind my Reese's Puffs in the background.

Roll it out so it's about 11 inches round. Fold in the edges with the Saran wrap and roll out again for nice rounded edges.

Carefully loosen the top piece of Saran wrap from the crust. Replace it, turn it over, and do the same to the other side. Remove one sheet of Saran and use the other side to guide the crust into the pie plate like so:

 Tuck it into all the edges as gently as you would tuck in a babe in a crib.

Use a food brush or your fingers to brush a thin layer of egg over the entire crust. Make sure you get all the edges.

Sprinkle some sugar over the egg wash

Bake 15-20 minutes until it looks like this little guy. Also, my hand is not in that mitt. Just the mitt in there for dramatic effect. #photographyfordummies

And there is your perfecto crusto. Stick that sucker into the fridge to cool, and we'll move on to the blueberry filling.


What you will need:

1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Water
2 Tablespoons Corn Starch

3 Tablespoons Berry Blue Jello
1 Pint Blueberries (I used more, because we had more)


What you will do:

In a medium pot whisk together sugar, corn starch, and water. Bring to a boil. Stir in Jello and boil for 2 minutes. Add blueberries. Let cool 10 minutes and pour over crust

And there you have it. The only thing left to do is to whip

1 1/2 Cups Whipping Cream
2 Tablespoons of sugar

And pile it on. Add some blueberries on top if you're feeling awesome.

This is literally my favorite thing ever. Please enjoy.
