Flaky Cream Cheese Pie Crust Recipe
The recipe calls for cream cheese and butter which creates a tender and flaky pie crust. This is my go-to recipe for pie crust. It bakes beautifully and doesn't become soggy. It can be used for any kind of pie and also works well for a woven lattice top. Credits: This recipe was modified from the Flaky Cream Cheese Pastry Dough in The All New All Purpose: Joy of Cooking (1997 version) (pg. 864).

📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt.
2
Cut the COLD butter and COLD cream cheese into 1/4-inch pieces. Using a Pastry Blender or a food processor with blade attachment, cut the butter and cream cheese into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces. Note: you could use a knife, but that would take forever.
3
Drizzle 3 tbsp cold heavy cream over the dough and cut into the dough with a spatula, adding more cream as needed until the dough forms moist clumps.
4
Divide the dough into 2 pieces, press into flat disks, cover each piece tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least ⏱️ 1 hour. It stores well in the fridge up to 2 days.
