In this review, we will talk about pies again. Today is the hero of the day berry pie. We have selected for you one of the best berry pie recipes in our opinion. In addition to the berries themselves, we will put nuts, fresh cream and vanilla and other tasty and healthy ingredients in it. We will prepare the dough for the berry pie on the basis of cottage cheese with the addition of walnuts, which will make it especially spicy. But more on that later, but for now a few words about the history and benefits of this wonderful dish.
Today we are dealing with a jellied pie, of which, in theory, there are two main types. The first is pies based on batter, the second is a pie with a dense base of shortbread or curd dough filled with sour cream or butter cream. Today we will talk about the last one and try to cook a cottage cheese and berry pie. Unlike batter pies where everything is prepared in minutes and does not require any manual work at all, our open berry pie will make you work a little.
We will chop nuts, grind cottage cheese, cut frozen butter and mix all the components that will be required additionally, and anyway, compared to the usual shortbread berry pie, this option seems to us a little lighter and very soon you will be able to verify this. As for the filling, in addition to the berries, it also involves a special butter cream, and for the sake of justice, it should be noted that the sour cream and berry pie will not be worse than its cream counterpart. It's all a matter of taste here.
Dough Ingredients:
Filling Ingredients:
Let's start with the preparation of the necessary products
Pour the nuts into a bowl for grinding
Grind the nuts, but not into flour, but into pieces as in the photo
Sift flour into a bowl for dough
We spread cottage cheese in flour
We introduce chopped nuts
Cut the chilled butter into pieces into the dough
Mix the food in a bowl
Break the egg into the dough
Sweeten the dough with powdered sugar
Combine all products and knead soft dough
We hide the finished dough in cling film and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
To prepare the filling for the pie in a deep bowl, combine the egg and yolks
Add granulated sugar
Add vanilla
Pour in heavy cream
Now the pouring cream must be beaten well
To roll out the dough, it is better to use parchment cut out according to the diameter of the form you use for baking
To ensure that the dough does not stick, you can roll it out between two sheets of parchment
Remove one sheet of parchment from the rolled out cake, cover the dough in the form with parchment down and make the edge of the pie
So that the cake does not bubble during baking, we prick it every centimeter with a fork
Pour the buttercream into the base of the pie
Before adding the berries, the cake should look like this
We put the berries and make sure that the filling does not rise above the sides of the pie
Bake the cake for about 40 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. If necessary, in the process it can be covered with parchment so that it does not burn.
We take out the baked pie from the oven and leave to cool
Remove the cooled cake from the mold
Well, that's all that's left, just cut into portions and call everyone to the table. Bon appetit everyone!
In principle, it is difficult to talk about the benefits of a shortcrust pastry pie, but we will try and first turn to the berry and cream filling itself. Berries, no matter which ones you choose, will certainly replenish the supply of vitamins and microelements necessary for your body. At the same time, cream, like other dairy products, is rich in calcium useful for bones and lecithin, which is necessary for blood vessels. Among other things, the combination of berries and cream is especially welcome because heavy cream contributes to the absorption of vitamins and trace elements from berries. All this, of course, does not reduce the calorie content of the berry pie with nuts and butter, even if it is cooked in a slow cooker, but it significantly increases its importance in our diet. And now we immediately proceed and here is our berry pie and its recipe with a photo.
So simply and quickly, without unnecessary noise and dust, we prepared an excellent dessert - a berry pie with cream filling. We hope that this delicacy will be to the taste of all members of your family and may become a signature treat. And if they already exist and are successfully practiced, we are waiting for your letters and recipes. Your friend and helper HozOboz!
