It's a pie that kind of looks like a cake but is not. It's definetely not a traditional looking pie as I used a springform pan for this recipe. You can use a 9" springform pan, or you can use a deep dish pie pan or quiche pan of the same size. Since I haven't used gelatin in such a long time I looked at other recipes that used gelatin to give me ideas on how to use it. It turned out beeter than I thought. Cooking time includes refrigeration.

Ingredients

10 serv.
  • crushed graham crackers1 1⁄3 cups
  • cinnamon1 1⁄2 teaspoons
  • white sugar2 teaspoons
  • butter, melted2 tablespoons
  • blueberries1 cup
  • water1⁄2 cup
  • white granular sugar1⁄2 cup
  • unflavored gelatin1 tablespoon
  • warm water1⁄2 cup
  • mascarpone cheese, softened at room temperature2 1⁄2 cups
  • whipped cream1 1⁄2 cups

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl mix the crushed graham crackers with the cinnamon, 2 teaspoon of sugar and melted butter. Spread it over the bottom of a 9" springform pan, deep dish pie pan or quiche dish. Bake for 6 minutes then set aside to cool.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan combine the blueberries with 1/2cup water and 1/2 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, then let it simmer over low heat until it bexcomes a coulis. Stir often to avoid the sauce sticking to the bottom of the sauce pan. Let cool.

  4. 4

    In the meantime (while the blueberry coulis is cooling), mix the gelatin with warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    In a large bowl mix the marscapone cheese with the blueberry coulis. Once properly mixed, add the gelatin mixture and and mix again. Very quickly add the whipped cream half a cup at a time, mixing thoroughly each time.

  6. 6

    Pour over the baked graham crust and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Serve either cold or at room temperature.
