Equipment

Ingredients

Pies

  • 4 ounces mascarpone cheese see notes
  • 1 ½ tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 scraped vanilla bean or equivalent dried vanilla
  • 1 5.3 ounce container honey Greek yogurt I used Open Nature Brand from Albertsons
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 12 mini graham cracker pie crusts
  • 3 cups assorted berries or other fruit of choice
  • mint leaves for garnish optional

Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract or pinch of vanilla bean
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine mascarpone, honey, and vanilla and beat with a hand mixer until combined. Add yogurt and blend just until mixed.  Set aside. 
  • In a separate bowl, beat cream with powdered sugar until medium peaks form. Add whipped cream mixture to mascarpone mixture just a few spoonfuls at a time, gently folding after each addition. Avoid stirring!  
  • Place graham crusts out and divide filling evenly among them. Top with fresh fruit. 
  • In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic, and vanilla glaze. Drizzle glaze over all pies.  Garnish with mint if desired.
  • Serve immediately or chill for 1-2 hours before serving.  

Notes

  • Mascarpone is an Italian style cream cheese, without the tang of American cream cheese.  Look for it in the specialty cheese section of the grocery store.  You can substitute cream cheese but it will have more of a cheesecake flavor.
  • These little pies are best served fresh! If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and enjoy within 1-2 days for best results.
  • You don't have to be limited to berries! These would be delicious with fresh peaches or plums. Use whatever is in season!
