Mustikkapiirakka (Finnish Blueberry Pie)

A beloved classic from Finland, Mustikkapiirakka is a simple, soulful blueberry pie designed to highlight the fruit rather than overwhelm it with sugar. A tender, buttery press-in crust cradles a layer of organic wild blueberries, topped with a lightly set sour-cream custard that adds gentle richness without heaviness. Intentionally not overly sweet, this traditional Finnish dessert allows the natural brightness, subtle tartness, and deep berry flavor of the blueberries to truly shine. Wild blueberries are especially prized for their high antioxidant content, natural polyphenols, and vibrant color—bringing both nourishment and depth of flavor to this timeless dessert.
