Razzleberry Pie {Triple Berry Pie Recipe}
The combination of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries plus a crumb topping make for a scrumptious Razzleberry Pie! A triple berry pie recipe only magnifies the delectable flavor profile!
If you love Berry Pies, you must make this Mixed Berry Pie for the holidays, dinner guests, or whenever you want to end a meal with a dessert that will get rave reviews.
Why You Must Make
- There’s only one crust, so it’s super easy to make!
- Plus, it has a buttery crumb topping. SO tasty!!!
- It’s made with frozen berries, so you can make it any time of year.
- There is something magical that happens when you bake this trio of berries together.
Once in a blue moon, my mom would treat us to a dessert from the grocery store. Pound cake, frosted fudge cake, and one of our favorites, razzleberry pie. Our taste buds loved that mixed berry pie!
Expert Tips
- If using fresh berries, use when they’re in season, in the spring and summer. For strawberries, Florida has a winter crop. They’ll be less expensive and better quality when using seasonal berries.
- You can make a double-crust pie or a single-crust pie. Using a crumb topping makes an impressive pie without all the work of dealing with a pastry top.
- PRO-Tip: Keep the crust cold before baking, so after you fit it into your pie plate, put it back into the refrigerator to keep it cold. This will help make a flakier pie crust if the bits of butter and/or shortening are well chilled.
- PRO-Tip: To prevent a sticky mess in your oven, place your pie on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch any drips.
- PRO-Tip: If the exposed crust starts to get brown before the filling starts to bubble, you can make a foil shield to cover the rim.
- You can tell your pie is done when the crust is nicely browned and the middle of the pie filling is bubbling. The cornstarch needs to “boil” in order to thicken properly.
- Make sure to have some good vanilla ice cream on hand. It’s the perfect partner for this scrumptious pie.
How to Serve
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream. Berry flavors would work well, too, but I like to keep the pairing simple.
- A dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream. Add a splash of vanilla, too.
- Fresh berries and a sprig of mint make a nice garnish.
- Coffee, tea, or a big glass of milk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Well, you won’t find these in a berry patch, but instead, this mythical berry occurs only when a mixture of raspberries, blackberries, and sometimes even blueberries make their way into a dessert or pie. What a magnificent pie these “berries” make!
Yes! In fact, they are required for this recipe! Letting the berries defrost in a colander allows the accumulated juices to be measured as part of the recipe. That helps to balance the liquid in the pie with the thickener.
I highly recommend this trio of berries as the flavor profile is terrific! But you can also use frozen strawberries if you’d like. You may need to chop them if they’re frozen whole.
This recipe does it best. As mentioned above, knowing the amount of liquid the berries produce and balancing it with the thickener is key. You could also precook the filling which allows you to adjust the thickening agent as needed. It would be like making your own canned pie filling, but better!
Most fruit pies without custard are OK at room temperature for a day or two. Longer than that, it’s best to store it in the refrigerator. Just gently warm up slices before eating.
Yes, freeze the baked pie well-wrapped for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator and warm gently in the oven to serve. Single slices can be warmed in the microwave after they’re defrosted.
No, it’s not. That pie has raspberries, blackberries, and apples! Not three different berries like in my version of razzleberry pie. But if you love Marie Callender’s pie, you will still go crazy for this recipe, too.

Sorry. I didn’t read the recipe carefully. I see Step 7 gives the answer to my question.
I plan on making this pie for Thanksgiving with a gluten free crust and gluten free flour for the crumble.
No worries, Deanna! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
I am confused by Step 5. It says to put one cup of the the fruit mixture in with the sugar. What do you do with the rest of the fruit mixture since the ingredients list 2 cups of three different berries.
I would appreciate feedback.
Thank you.
Yum! Such a great dish to make with the last of summer’s berries. Really good stuff — thanks.
AH! I literally just told James I would make him a pie just like this one! I’ll 100% be using your recipe, Liz <3 so excited for everyone to try it
Love it! I didn’t thaw the berries out all the way and I didn’t add sugar to the berries and it still turned out great. Thanks!
My family would really love this pie. I am looking forward to more fall desserts.
Glad that you explained what razzleberry was – it looks and sounds delicious! Also good that you can use frozen berries as fresh are very expensive and not always available.
this looks spectacular!
