🥘 Sour Cream Blackberry Pie Ingredients
I strongly suggest that you make the pie crust from scratch; however, if you prefer, you can opt for a store-bought crust to save time! Other than the crust, all you need is fresh (or thawed) blackberries and some common pantry ingredients!
- Pie Crust - 1 pie crust for the base of the pie. You can use my homemade butter pie crust recipe or use your favorite store-bought brand.
Filling
- Sugar - ¾ cup of granulated sugar.
- Flour - 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
- Sour cream - 1 cup of full-fat sour cream. You could also use light sour cream if desired.
- Egg - 1 large egg.
- Lime Juice - 1½ teaspoons of lime juice. I recommend using freshly squeezed lime juice for the best results.
- Salt - ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Blackberries - 2½ cups of blackberries. I prefer using fresh, but you can use thawed frozen blackberries too.
Topping
- Flour - 6 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
- Sugar - 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
- Butter - 3 tablespoons of cold butter.

🔪 How To Make Sour Cream Blackberry Pie
This recipe is a breeze to make since there's no need for pre-baking the pie crust or using any intricate baking methods! Take out your 9-inch pie pan, a stand mixer (or electric mixer), measuring cups, a mixing bowl, and some foil to get started!
This recipe will make one 9-inch pie that's about 8 servings, depending on how large you cut the slices!
Prepare Crust & Filling
- Prep. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (205°C/Gas Mark 6).
- Roll crust. Roll out the butter pie crust and lay it down into a 9-inch deep dish pie pan (or use a store-bought crust). Trim the edges as desired and then cover them with foil (or use a pie shield).
- Combine. Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, combine ¾ cup (150 grams) of sugar and 2 tablespoons (15 grams) of flour.
- Mix. Mix in 1 cup (230 grams) of sour cream, 1 large egg (50 grams), 1½ teaspoons (7 milliliters) of lime juice, and ¼ teaspoon (1.5 grams) of salt at medium speed for about 5 minutes. Then, use a rubber spatula to carefully stir in 2½ cups (360 grams) of blackberries.
Bake & Add Topping
- Bake. Transfer the pie filling to the prepared crust and then bake it in the oven at 400°F (205°C/Gas Mark 6) for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the topping. While the pie is baking, combine 6 tablespoons (45 grams) of flour, 4 tablespoons (48 grams) of sugar, and 3 tablespoons (42 grams) of butter in a small bowl by mashing it with a fork.
- Add. Take the pie out of the oven and sprinkle the butter mixture over the entire top. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden.
- Cool and serve. Remove the pie from the oven and take off the foil (or pie crust shield). Let it cool down to room temperature before slicing.
🍴 What To Serve With Sour Cream Blackberry Pie
I like to add my homemade whipped cream or chantilly cream on top for an added level of sweetness! Some vanilla nice cream on the side is always delicious too. Enjoy!
💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes
- If using blackberries that are frozen, you need to thaw them completely and drain them super well. If you add extra moisture, the filling could be runny.
- You can use homemade all butter pie crust, my best pie dough, store-bought pie dough, or store-bought frozen crust. If using a frozen pie crust, you don't have to thaw it out baking.
- The butter for your topping needs to be very cold (straight from the fridge). This makes tasty chunks in your topping and keeps it from melting all over the top of the pie.
- Feel free to add chopped walnuts to your topping for a nice and tasty crunch!
