Preparing the Pie Crust:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0 \u00a0&#8211; Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-103.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-103.png 640w, https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-103-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, and wrap each disc in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Making the Filling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; In a separate bowl, gently toss together the raspberries, blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest until the berries are evenly coated. Set the filling aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Assembling the Mini Pies:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Roll out one chilled pie crust disc on a lightly floured surface until it is approximately 1\/8 inch thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles of dough, each about 4-5 inches in diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Place a spoonful of the berry filling in the center of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Fold one side of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, then crimp the edges with a fork to seal the pies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Freezing and Vacuum Sealing:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Place the assembled mini pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Brush the tops of the pies with beaten egg wash and sprinkle them with granulated sugar for a golden, crispy crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Bake the pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Allow the pies to cool completely on a wire rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Once cooled, transfer the pies to the freezer and let them harden for at least 1-2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Remove the hardened pies from the freezer and vacuum seal them in bags or place them in airtight containers to prevent freezer burn and preserve their freshness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Serving the Frozen Pies:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; When ready to enjoy, simply remove a frozen pie from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Alternatively, reheat the pies in a preheated oven at 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) for 10-12 minutes until warmed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; Serve the thawed or warmed mini pies as a delightful frozen treat, perfect for any season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">With the simple art of freezing and vacuum sealing, these raspberry and blueberry mini pies offer a burst of fruity sweetness year-round.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;The process of freezing these delectable treats allows the flavors to intensify and the crust to maintain its buttery crispness. Whether you&#8217;re craving a summery delight or a cozy winter indulgence, these freezer-friendly mini pies are a delightful addition to any dessert repertoire. So, embrace the joy of pulling out a perfectly preserved pie from your freezer, savor the flavors, and let these sweet treats transport you to a world of pure culinary bliss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sweet Temptations on Ice: Freezer-Friendly Raspberry and Blueberry Mini Pies In the realm of frozen treats, there&#8217;s something particularly delightful about reaching into the freezer and discovering a scrumptious dessert [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":722,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=721"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":725,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721\/revisions\/725"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
