Berry pie

History of the 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.

    Now the pouring cream must be beaten well

18. In the meantime, the dough has cooled and we will roll it out through parchment cut to the size of the baking dish;
    

    To roll out the dough, it is better to use parchment cut out according to the diameter of the form you use for baking

19. If the dough still sticks, roll it immediately through 2 pieces of parchment;
    

    To ensure that the dough does not stick, you can roll it out between two sheets of parchment

    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

28. It remains only to cut and serve the berry pie for tea.
    

    Well, that's all that's left, just cut into portions and call everyone to the table. Bon appetit everyone!

The benefits of the dish

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!
