Wouldn't it be nice to have a cool delicious pie on a weekend luncheon with friends to share and have good conversation? I went to the market and accidentally got a large box of blue berries that is a little sour. Yaks! Munnnmmm... Time to put on my creative hat and solve the solution.
Basic Ingredients: Blueberries, Marie Biscuits, Chocolate, Custard, Raisins

Here is how to make the yummy pie with a French Pizzas!
Step 1
Crust:
- 1 Marie Biscuits from the Asian Food store... Marina Super Market in Foster City, CA. Dump it in a zip log bag, use a stone/brick or a thick book and crush it to fine bits, be careful not to puncture the bag.
- 1/4 salted butter (Half of a small slab from the pack)
- 9 teaspoons of very hot water
Method:
• Knead lightly it till it becomes a round dough ball
• Spread it with the palm of your hand, evenly all over the 9-inch (diameter) pie pan with scallop edges from Crate and Barrel. This is a special pie as the bottom is detachable. Real cool design!
• Bake it for 20 mins till firm and light brown
Step 2
Other things you need to kick it up a notch:
- A Can of Ambrosia Devon Custard from Dregaes or Molly Stone, the British section
- 1.5 cups of Swiss made dark chocolate chips, melted with 3 tblsp of heavy whipping cream and whipped over soft fire. Add a dash of black pepper, salt and a small amount of chili powder to the chocolate. Be careful not to burn the chocolate!
Method:
• Spread the warm chocolate over the cool crust, put it in the fridge for 10 mins to cool off
• Spread the custard all over the top of the chocolate
• Leave it in the fridge to cool off
Step 3
OK Here is the KEY ingredient... it needs to be super duper and it is all in the taste! Sour Blue Berries? No Probs!
