Imagine a pie bursting with the vibrant flavors of summer berries. This recipe allows you to create a stunning dessert featuring a medley of raspberries, blackberries, redcurrants, and strawberries – or your favorite combination. The berries meld together beautifully, creating a sweet and slightly tart filling with a delightful jam-like consistency.
A simple addition thickens the berry juices naturally, ensuring a perfect set without any fuss. The crust is tender and crisp, providing a wonderful textural contrast to the soft, yielding filling. It's made with a combination of alternative flours and cheeses, creating a dough that's surprisingly easy to work with and bakes to a golden brown.
The subtle flavor of the cheese is undetectable, allowing the berry flavors to truly shine. A hint of almond extract enhances the sweetness of the berries, while a touch of lemon juice brightens the overall flavor profile. You can bake this recipe as one large pie, perfect for sharing, or divide the dough into individual mini pies for easy portioning.
The pre-baked crust can be made ahead of time, offering flexibility in your baking schedule. Enjoy a slice of this berry pie slightly warm, allowing the flavors to fully develop. A dollop of fresh whipped cream complements the pie perfectly, adding a touch of richness and elegance.
Alternatively, consider serving it with a scoop of your favorite vanilla or chocolate ice cream, or a creamy custard for an extra layer of indulgence. Leftover pie keeps well in the refrigerator, ensuring you can savor this delightful dessert for days to come. It can also be frozen for longer storage, allowing you to enjoy a taste of summer anytime of year.
Simply thaw completely before reheating to restore the filling's delightful consistency.
