Directions:Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly butter a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish. In a medium bowl, combine the vanilla wafers and melted butter and press the mixture into the baking dish, evenly covering the bottom and sides, and set aside. Combine blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a heavy saucepan. And place over high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, until the mixture is a thick sauce (if you use fresh berries, reduce the cooking time to 3 minutes). Combine the water and cornstarch and add the mixture to the berries, cooking for about 2 minutes longer, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Set the berry mixture aside.
Combine the cream cheese, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the eggs, vanilla, salt, and heavy cream in a food processor until fluffy, using a spatula to scrap the sides of the processor until all of the ingredients are thoroughly blended. Pour the cream mixture into the wafer crust and then pour the berry mixture on top of the cream filling. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the pie is firm. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Refrigerate overnight before serving. |
