Line a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with the bottom crust. Trim the pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of plate; flute the edges. Line unpricked pastry shelll with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450 degree's for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce heat to 375 degrees.

Step 2

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners sugar and lemon juice until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk until blended. Spread into crust.

Step 3

In a large saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour and cornstarch; stir in the water until smooth. Stir in 2 cups berries. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Cool slightly. Gently stir in lemon juice, mint and remaining berries. Pour over cheese filling.

Step 4

Cut decorative cutouts in remaining pastry, arrange over filling, leaving center uncovered. Brush pastry with egg white, sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Step 5

We loved the cheese layer with the fresh blueberries. This is a great tasting pie and we will be having it again over the long Memorial Day weekend! Do make this if you like blueberries. It's great!

I do love making deep dish pies, just like this one! The recipe was pretty much followed, although I really don't care for mint so let that out of the filling! Decorated the top with 3 different size star cutouts! Delicious to a fault ~ Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for posting this great keeper of a recipe!
