This week’s recipe for the Tuesdays with Dorie group is meant to be Pistachio Berry Slims. It looks like a beautiful cookie, however when you have anaphylactic children it is just not going to be an option.
I debated whether I should try replacing the pistachio with coconut however last minute I decided to catch up on a recipe I had missed.
Dorie said these bars are inspired from a buttermilk pie she had at Husk restaurant. I have the Husk cookbook by Sean Brock, Heritage, and love leafing though it! So I knew right then that this recipe was going to be my substitute this week.
The recipe was really simple. A cornmeal biscuit crust that is baked golden, then topped with fresh blueberries and a vanilla flavoured buttermilk custard.
Seriously? What is there not to love about this?!
It is not too sweet, it almost feels like a light summery dessert. I served it with a dollop of cream however I really do not think it needs any. It is perfect the way it is.
The tanginess of the blueberries is wonderful!
I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to go back and make this recipe. It is something I will definitely make again and I think next time some sour morello cherries!

I read your review of them back when you guys made these and it helped me decide to go with them 🙂

I know how you feel regarding nuts. This cookbook seems to have nuts in many recipes. My son does not get to each much from this cookbook. Nice catch-up, we enjoyed that one too.

Oh yes this would be great with cherries!!

Oh, I should make these while blueberries are still around! They look so good. I wonder if there could be a nut-free version of the “cream” that goes on top of the gratins?

this was a good one, and i bet it would be fab with cherries! i now do wonder about the pistachio cookie done with coconut…it would be a tasty combo for sure.
