Cheese Huckleberry Pie

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. + cooling Bake: 10 min. + chilling YIELD: 2 pies (8 servings each).
This huckleberry pie has a cookielike press-in crust, a fluffy cream filling and a layer of luscious huckleberries on top. I think it really shows off the lovely dark glossy berries. —Dianne Doede, Trout Lake, Washington
