Slumber Party Pie

It's Friday recipe time. Ashley's here for a sleepover and we're going to invent a pie! This will be the most delicious pie you ever tasted. It will make you want to invite your best friends over to watch silly movies and play games. Promise.
First up, the crust!They're made with oats and those are good for you!

Capn' Crunch Berry Crust:
4 tbsp butter
4 cups crunch berries
Crush the crunch berries until you have crunch berry flour. Then, melt the butter and mix in into the crunch berries with your fingers until it starts to stick together. Transfer to your pie plate and press into the bottom and up the sides. Bake in 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.
Then, we made a cream cheese mixture:
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup half and half
1 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
These all got mixed up in the mixer on high speed until they thickened a little bit, like cheesecake. Then we spread that in our prepared crust.

There was a little bit of the cream cheese mix left on the beaters and we mixed that in the blender with cherries, raspberries, blueberries, and mixed berries in the blender until it looked like a pink smoothie.
yum.That got spread on top of the cream cheese layer in the pie crust. Then we decorated it with more, um, berries. Warning: we made this up. and it was way after midnight. and we only used our cookbook as a coaster. You are not obligated to make this recipe.
Unless, of course, you're at a slumber party. Then you have to.

Is this the Waitress inspired pie? It's like your version of the mermaid pie and it seems chock full of sugary fruity goodness! :D At least you made a pie, I buy pies.

Emily,
It was totally delicious. I have begun making all my food out of crunch berries.
