I liked the blueberry chocolate braid I made a few posts ago, but the flavors were a bit strong. I wanted to try something with a subtler chocolate nuance this time. Enter the cocoa-kissed blueberry pie! The flavor for this pie was perfect...it added a sophisticated nuance to the pie which I loved. For those of you leery of blueberry and chocolate, this is a good place to start out.
COCOA-KISSED BLUEBERRY PIE
1 recipe pie crust (I like the Buttery Double Crust recipe from Vegan Pie In The Sky
4 cups blueberries
3 tbsp corn starch
1 tsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
4 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp vegan margarine, cut into small chunks.
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2) Mix corn starch, cocoa powder, vanilla powder and sugar together. Mix in blueberries.
3) Line pie dish with one pie crust. Crimp edges. Pour berry mixture into crust. Top with dots of vegan margarine.
4) Cut remaining pastry into shapes. Alternate shapes so they make a checkerboard pattern. Bake for 50 minutes. Serve with vegan ice cream or whipped cream.
Enjoy!
