Blueberry Cream Cheese Ghost Hand Pies
- 2 cups flour all-purpose
- 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small chunks
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 7 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup cream cheese soft
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil finely chopped
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 egg for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon currants or dried blueberries, for ghost's eyes
- In a KitchenAid(R) Food Processor pulse flour, butter, salt and sugar until you have a crumbly mixture, about the size of peas. Add water and pulse 5-7 more times or until dough starts to come together. Turn out onto a floured surface and shape into 2 round discs. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
- To make the filling, mix the cream cheese, heavy cream, egg, sugar, flour, salt and basil together in a bowl. Add the blueberries and mix to desired texture.
- Preheat KitchenAid(R) Convection Bake Countertop Oven to 400u0b0F. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thick and, using a ghost-shaped cookie cutter (or your own cut-out), cut out the dough for individual pies.
- Layer each ghost with the blueberry mixture, only adding it to the center. Lay another ghost cut-out on top. Crimp edges to seal. Lightly brush edges of circles with egg white. Repeat with remaining dough cut-outs and filling. Cut a small vent in each pie and bake until golden, 10 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Cool completely on wire racks before serving.
