Description

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.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat oven to 3500F/ 1800C and line a cupcake tray with silicone cases or aluminum cases. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, 3 tablespoons erythritol, and sea salt to a large bowl, and loosely mix through. Add the mozzarella and cream cheese in a heatproof bowl and place in the microwave for 1 minute on high until melted. Add 1 egg to the melted cheese and loosely give it a stir through. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients then use your hands to knead until a ball of dough comes together. Flatten to a disc shape and place the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a disk approximately 1/4-inch / 6mm thickness, then peel off the top layer of baking paper.
    2.
    Use a 3 cacm cookie cutter to cut out disks of pastry and carefully place them into the silicone case. Re-roll any scraps of dough to yield more pastry cases. Shape and neatly tuck the edges of the pastry and prick the base of each pie crust with a fork. Any leftover pie crust can be reserved for making a lattice top or rolled thinly and used to cut smaller circles to cover the pie tops.
    3.
    Prebake the pie crusts in the center of the oven for 10-12 minutes or until just beginning to golden and crisp up. Once ready, the pastry will have puffed up slightly, so use a small flat base, like the base of a wine bottle cork or the back of a small spoon to press the crust base and sides to make the pastry tighter and sturdier for the filling. Set aside to fully cool.
    4.
    Add the mixed berries to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Add the erythritol, lemon juice, ground chia seeds, vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon extract (optional). Bring to a gentle simmer. Keep stirring until the chia seeds have worked their magic and thickened the mixture.
    5.
    Preheat oven to 3500F/ 1800C. Transfer the berry mixture to a blender or food processor. Pulse to a smooth consistency. Pour the berry filling into each of the pie crusts. Set aside. Any leftover mixture can be frozen and used in other recipes or in a smoothie.
    6.
    If making a top layer for the pies, roll out the remaining crust dough between the baking paper at approximately 1/16th-inch / 4mm thickness. Cut strips with a pizza roller to make a lattice design, or cut smaller circles to entirely cover the berry filling, or try star shapes for another pretty look.
    7.
    Bake the pies in the center of the oven for a further 10 minutes until the tops are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool to room temperature. Dust with powdered sweetener for presentation marks (optional).
