Boo Berry Pie is a delicious mixed berry pie with orange zest and orange juice to kick up the flavor. To make things simple I’ve used a store-bought deep dish pie crust and a flat-rolled refrigerated crust for the easy cut out shapes.
If it looks scary or intimidating to make, I hope you’ll stick with me because I’ll walk you through the entire process of just how simple it is to recreate.
**Disclaimer – This post and recipe were created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always the opinions I share are 100% my own.
**Please Note – The printable recipe card with detailed instructions and complete ingredient measurements for making Boo Berry Pie is available near the end of this post.
The ingredient list for making Boo Berry Pie;

- orange zest
- orange juice
- almond extract
- butter
- tapioca
- sugar (I use Dixie Crystals)
- salt
- egg
- gel fool color; white, red, purple, green, orange, yellow, and black (I use Wilton)
The tools and equipment needed to make Boo Berry Pie are as follows;
-
- large bowl
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- sharp paring knife
- paper cups or tiny bowls for mixing colors
- paint brush
- measuring cup with a pour spout

Tips and tricks for making Boo Berry Pie with painted pie crust;
- First and foremost…Have fun with it!!!
- Keep your flat pie crust as cold as possible so it cuts better.
- Don’t worry about perfection, if you’re nervous about cutting out shapes freehand, draw your images on a sheet of paper then place them on top of your pie crust and cut around them.
- Make sure to wash your paintbrush in water before changing colors.
- For more vivid colors, paint 2 coats of color on each item.
- Add water to affix the pieces together, but you can move them around first until you’re happy with their placement.
- Make it as detailed as possible OR keep it simple with only one, or two, ghosts if desired. It’s your pie and you can make it however you like.
- Place the decorated pie on a baking sheet before baking in case the filling bubbles over.
- The colors of the gel egg wash will intensify slightly during baking.
- While the pie is baking, keep an eye on it and if the outer crust looks like it’s getting too brown, cover the outer pie crust with foil.
- After the pie has baked and cooled, use a detail paintbrush and the black egg wash to add the faces on the ghosts and pumpkin.

- 1 deep dish pie shell
- ½ cup fresh blackberries
- 2½ cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup tapioca
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 refrigerated flat pie crust
- 1 large egg
- gel food color red, white, purple, green, orange, black, yellow
-
Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
-
In a large bowl, stir together the blueberries, blackberries, orange zest, orange juice, almond extract, salt, tapioca, and sugar.
-
Pour the berry filling evenly into a deep dish pie crust. Dot the top of the blueberries with the softened butter. Set aside.
-
Lightly flour a cutting surface and roll or press out a 9" flat refrigerated crust.
-
Use a sharp paring knife to cut out your desired shapes. Use a spatula to gently place the shapes on top of the pie filling, moving them around until you're happy with their placement.
-
Use a light amount of water to affix the shapes together.
-
Mix one egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a measuring cup with a pour spout.
-
Add approximately 2 teaspoons of eggwash into very small cups (cut paper cups work well for this) for each different of gel color you're using. Mix each color well.
-
Use a clean paintbrush to paint the details onto each cut pie crust piece. Two coats may be needed for more intense color, if desired. **Note - Make sure to clean the paint brush with clean water between each color change.
-
Place the pie onto a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for (approximately) 60 minutes, or until the juices ooze slightly, and the outer pie crust is golden in color. *Note - if the outer pie crust turns golden too quickly, cover the outer rim of the pie crust with foil.
-
Cool on a cooling rack. When the pie is completely cool, add the faces to the ghosts and pumpkin with the black eggwash and a small detail brush if desired.
-
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Really Cute!
Thank you so much!
This pie is simply scary ..I mean delicious looking (lol) and perfect for Halloween get-togethers. Your directions make it look easy and so much fun to put together. I bet kids would have a ball cutting out the shapes and getting to paint them.
I agree. I’m sure the kids would love helping to make this pie!
Holy Fright! You have knocked this ghostly dessert right out of the park; what a fun and creative idea for Halloween!
LOL. Thank you so much!!
I am always soooo blown away by your talents! This looks amazing. I’m not sure I could cut into it!
Thank you so much, Karen! But you’d have to cut into it because it tastes even better than it looks!
This is such a beautiful pie, Renee! You make it look easy!! 😉
Thank you, but tt’s not hard, Valentina. I hope you’ll give it a try. I’ll bet you surprise yourself.
This is amazing! You are really creative!
Thank you, Toni. I really love what I do so its great fun for me!
I always love your painted crust pies, and I really love your haunted house and ghosties on this one!
Thank you so much, Jenni! I think you also know how much fun these are for me to make. It’s a tough job but somebody has to do it. LOL
I’m jealous of your pie abilities. This one is another stunner! Super creative and delicious looking.
No reason to be jealous. I do believe anyone can do it. Just have fun and don’t put pressure on yourself to make it perfect. Have fun and you’ll be successful. Thank you for the compliment though 😉
