I have made this 3x in about 1 month. Blackberries and cheesecake- a wonderful combination. This pie was like a "party in my mouth". The citrus had a "Tanginess" but topped with some whipped cream, It was fantastic!! My advice: Add 2/3 cup whipping cream to the cream cheese/sugar mix. It was plenty sweet still. When cooking the powdered sugar/corn starch/juice- keep stirring over heat after it starts to thicken-about 15-20 seconds. You want a nice thick jell. My pie held together very well and all my co-workers liked it- a lot. You a can use just a berry juice if you don't like a tartness

I made this pie as a last resort because I couldn't find a better recipe that didn't include the pineapple/orange juice. It was a hit at the women's group I took it to. However, I was unhappy with the citrus taste that overpowered the pie just a little. I think it took away from the best part of the pie, the blackberries! I think I will use the same recipe next time but use a berry juice instead of the citrus juice that the recipe called for. I was pleased overall though!

We go blackberry picking at my dad's farm every summer. One year we didn't have quite enough to make blackberry jam, so I found this recipe instead and made it for my brother when he came home from Iraq. The juice adds just a hint of tanginess, but I served it with home-made whipped cream to add a little more sweetness. It tastes really good, it's just a little runny.

This pie is just OK. I can find much better uses for delicious and expensive blackberries.

Fruit pies are not usually my thing. I just don't really like having a mouth full of goo. But this was pretty good! The cream cheese-blackberry combination tastes great. The only change I would make is to maybe add lemon juice to the pineapple-orange sauce. Thanks!
