Tart-but-sweet lingonberries paired with a cream cheese filling, wrapped in pie dough and baked to perfection. These yummy little Lingonberries & Cream<\/strong> Hand Pies will have people fighting over the last one (and the first one). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"lingonberry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ever had a lingonberry? They’re pretty fantastic. Similar to cranberries, they’re much smaller and juicier – and delicious! Tart, but sweet – they’re perfect in jams and jellies (due to natural amounts of pectin). Known as a “superberry” and found in Sweden – they’re perfect for these pies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The need for a fork doesn’t exist and they’re perfect to put on trays for easy grabbing (hence the name “hand-pie). My co-workers thought so, anyway. The boss too, apparently,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve used cream cheese with a touch of powdered sugar to pair with the jam in these pies and it works well. A touch of tart, a little sweet wrapped in delicious buttery pie dough. Brushed with a little egg and baked, ready to eat in about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yum, right?! (Right!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy to make<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to get fancy with the shapes or decorative edges on these pies, they’ll still taste JUST as good if you get a little rustic. You shouldn’t skip the knife cuts in the top though, it’s essential to ensure the pies don’t, well – explode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would be sad. And messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are PERFECT for a dessert, or a mid-morning snack, and great for sharing. They taste just as good room temperature as they do warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you love them as much as I do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
