Cream Cheese Pastry

I made Judy's Peach Pie but wanted to try a new crust recipe with a cream cheese pastry which was delicious.



  • 3 1/3 cups flour
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold butter
  • 1-8 ounce package cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  1. Combine the dry ingredients and work in the butter and cream cheese until you have a crumble texture. Add the cream. 
  2. At this point the dough may be chilled for an hour for easier handling, but I made my pies immediately. 
I found this crust not to be as flaky as my other one, but richer and very tasty. This amount makes 2-8 or 9 inch double crusted pies. Just double the filling if you are using Judy's recipe for peach pie. I highly recommend you do as peach pie is awesome!!!
