Tart-but-sweet lingonberries paired with a cream cheese filling, wrapped in pie dough and baked to perfection. These yummy little Lingonberries & Cream Hand Pies will have people fighting over the last one (and the first one).
Ever had a lingonberry? They’re pretty fantastic. Similar to cranberries, they’re much smaller and juicier – and delicious! Tart, but sweet – they’re perfect in jams and jellies (due to natural amounts of pectin). Known as a “superberry” and found in Sweden – they’re perfect for these pies.
Lingonberries & Cream Hand Pies
The need for a fork doesn’t exist and they’re perfect to put on trays for easy grabbing (hence the name “hand-pie). My co-workers thought so, anyway. The boss too, apparently,
I’ve used cream cheese with a touch of powdered sugar to pair with the jam in these pies and it works well. A touch of tart, a little sweet wrapped in delicious buttery pie dough. Brushed with a little egg and baked, ready to eat in about 20 minutes.
Yum, right?! (Right!)
Easy to make
You don’t have to get fancy with the shapes or decorative edges on these pies, they’ll still taste JUST as good if you get a little rustic. You shouldn’t skip the knife cuts in the top though, it’s essential to ensure the pies don’t, well – explode.
That would be sad. And messy.
These are PERFECT for a dessert, or a mid-morning snack, and great for sharing. They taste just as good room temperature as they do warm.
I hope you love them as much as I do!

Hi Kylee! I’ve never even heard of lingonberries (sorry). Is there another fruit you might suggest in place of them? Maybe blueberry jam? Before giving up I’ll try whole foods and hope they carry them but just in case>>>>Any suggestions? I am going to gain so much weight baking all your goodies but heck ..we only live once and I happen to love baking and…eating!!! Thanks for any help you may be able to offer!!!!
Kylee says
Hey, Sharon!
Check out this link for where you can buy. Just put in your zipcode! https://felixjams.com/where-to-buy/
For me – it’s available at Safeway, Albertsons (Osco/Jewel) and at Whole Foods
If you DO substitute – just make sure it’s a really good quality, whole berry jam, so you get the full taste and flavor – but DO try and find the lingonberries – they’re AMAZING.
Sharon says
Once again..My thanks!!! I will definitely try Whole foods first! Thank you!!
