I love the mixture of pistachios and blackberries, but other berries can be used as well. —MarieGlobetrotter

WHO: MarieGlobetrotter is an avid baker (with almost 200 recipes on the site!) from Montreal.
WHAT: The love child of a blackberry pie and pudding.
HOW: Place a milk-based pie crust into a pie tin, then line the bottom with blackberries. Cover the berries with a creamy pistachio filling and bake until golden brown.
WHY WE LOVE IT: The custard-y filling of this simple pie corrals the unlikely duo of blackberries and pistachios into a delicious summer dessert. Have a slice, then wash it down with some rosé—that's what we call the perfect ending to a warm day. —The Editors

-
Preheat the oven to 350º F. Butter a 10-inch pie pan.
