This is a delicious cream cheese pie topped with a mouthwatering huckleberry topping.
So i made this, and the foil on the crust is optional (it turns out just fine without it). when i made the whipped cream/cream cheese filling i used homemade whipping cream, but with the lemon juice it tasted off so i added nutmeg, cinnamon, and cream of tartar to taste. then i didn't have huckleberries so i chopped up strawberries and used them, they worked fine. after putting the berry topping on i felt like it still needed something so i dripped (sparingly) vanilla flavoring, then chilled overnight. It came out wonderful, and i received many compliments. I gave it four stars, because i dont know what it would have been like w/o my adjustments

With a little less topping, it was GREAT! It would be 5 stars with 1/2 the topping.
I melted the butter for the crust, it made it a lot easier and did not change the taste at all
This is the 4th time I made this pie. Hubby and daughter can’t get enough!!! I was trying to save my berries for the holidays! Boo!! Love this recipe very simple, easy and delish!! Will pick more next year. Thx for the recipe! I used graham crackers with walnuts this time. It’s the Best!!!
Amazing pie! We have a place that we travel 50 miles to get to. They have the best huckleberry pies in a region known for huckleberries. This pie is better by far. Perfect balance of cream cheese, just enough to balance the huckleberry filling. I used 1/4 tsp salt for the crust, didn't see the amount in the recipe. Next time I might make a little more crust and use 1/2 to 3/4C more huckleberries.
have made this recipe three times and it is awesome. Everyone had nothing to say but good things thank you for this recipes. Today for a Christmas dinner I will make it again.
Great! Doubled the crust, used 8 ounces of cream cheese. I think that is probably what was intended although the recipe says 4 ounces. 1 package is 8 ounces.
