Serves8

Flaky, golden, and bursting with flavor, these Brie & Berry Thyme Pumpkin Hand Pies combine melty brie with sweet, juicy California Giant berries and a hint of fresh thyme. Perfectly portable and visually festive, they’re a cozy, elegant treat for fall gatherings or any special occasion.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 sheets store-bought puff pastry, thawed in fridge

  • 4 oz brie, cut into small cubes

  • 1 cup mixed California Giant Berries Blackberries (cut in half) + Strawberries (diced small)

  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp cornstarch (optional, helps thicken juices)

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 egg, for egg wash


DIRECTIONS

  • Prep the Pastry

      • Preheat oven to 400°F.

      • On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry sheets to smooth.

      • Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter (3–4 inch size) to cut out pumpkin shapes - you’ll need 16 (2 per hand pie).


  • Prep the Berries

      • In a small bowl, combine strawberries, blackberries, and thyme.

      • Toss gently with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using).

      • Let sit for 5 minutes to draw out a little juice.

      • Then mix in the brie cubes.

  • Assemble the Filling

      • On half of the pumpkin cut-outs, place a small spoonful of the brie-berry mixture.
      • Keep a ½-inch border clear around the edges.


  • Top & Seal

      • Brush edges lightly with beaten egg.

      • Place another pumpkin cut-out on top.

      • Use a fork or your fingers to gently crimp the edges to seal.

      • With a sharp knife, make 3 shallow incisions at the top-middle to resemble pumpkin ridges (this helps steam escape and cute design).

      • Brush entire top with egg wash.


  • Bake

      • Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

      • Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden and puffed.

      • Let cool slightly, then enjoy warm while the brie is melty and the berries are jammy.
