Instructions
Step 1
Strawberry pie should have a rich flavor. Select ripe and fragrant berries, discarding rumpled and spoiled specimens. Rinse and dry the strawberries by sprinkling on a towel. Remember to remove the sepals.
Step 2
Prepare the dough. Beat butter with sugar. In a separate bowl, mix the egg and cream, pour the mixture into the butter and sugar mass. Stir everything until smooth and add the sifted flour in portions. Knead a soft plastic dough, roll it into a ball and refrigerate for an hour.
Step 3
Roll out the finished dough into a thin layer, place in a greased, fireproof split mold. To prevent the base of the strawberry pie from puffing out, pierce the dough in several places with a fork. Place the mold in the cold for a quarter of an hour. From the refrigerator, transfer the mold to an oven preheated to 200 ° C and bake until the cake acquires a golden hue.
Step 4
Melt the white chocolate in a water bath or microwave. Brush the dough crust with chocolate icing - the chocolate backing will become the basis for the strawberry pie.
Step 5
Separate the yolks from the whites. Mash the yolks with sugar, add vanillin, cream and flour. While stirring, cook the cream until thick. Remove it from the stove and refrigerate. Whisk the whites into a stiff foam and mix gently into the custard.
Step 6
Cut the strawberries into halves and place them on the baked crust on top of the chocolate. Pour the cream over the filling and place in the oven for 3-5 minutes. The baking surface should be lightly browned. Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the cake with the icing sugar and cinnamon mixture. Strawberry pie tastes better when cold. Serve it sliced. Garnish each serving with fresh strawberries and mint leaves.
