Fresh Blackberry Glacé Pie

Ingredients

For the pie crust
 1/4 cup very cold water
 2 cups flour, spooned and leveled
 6 tablespoons butter-flavored shortening
 half cup (1 stick) frozen or cold butter
 1 and 1/2 tablespoons sugar
 1 teaspoon salt
 1/2 beaten egg

For the filling
 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
 8 and 1/2 cups blackberries, divided
 1 cup sugar
 3 tablespoons cornstarch
 1/2 cup cold water*

Instructions

FOR THE PIE CRUST:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Measure out 1/4 cup water and stick it in the freezer.
3. Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
4. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in shortening until mixture is the consistency of fine crumbs.
5. Grate the cold butter with a cheese grater (or cut into pieces) and work it into the mixture with the shortening, using the pastry cutter.
6. Crack an egg into a small bowl, beat thoroughly and divide in half (just eyeball it. You can save the other half or toss it.) Add the water in the freezer to the half egg. Use a fork and then your hands to work it into a ball. Knead just until it comes together.
7. Divide the dough in half. Put one half in the freezer and use it in 3 days when you decide that you need to make this pie again.
8. Place the other half onto a floured surface and roll out carefully into a circle large enough for your pie pan. (About 12 inches).
