A soft, cake-like pie base topped with Finnish forest blueberries set in a light quark or cream custard. The taste of late summer, eaten with coffee.
Finnish forests yield small, dark, intense bilberries that locals pick by the bucket under everyman's-right access laws each summer. Baked into a soft pulla-style base with a quark or cream custard, mustikkapiirakka is the country's everyday summer pie, sold in every cafe and market hall from July onward and eaten with coffee.
