We put the smaller part in the freezer for a quarter of an hour - this will be enough for it to freeze and rub easily in the future.

Part of the dough, which we put more in a mold, sprinkled with breading, flour or covered with parchment.

Wash the cherries well, extract the seeds from the berries. We spread them on the base in the form, sprinkle with sugar and rub with frozen dough. We bake the pie in preheated to 200 degrees. oven for half an hour. Sprinkle with powder before serving.

When the foam becomes very dense, not flowing, gradually add both types of sugar, without stopping whipping. Pour the oil in a thin stream, while the whipping speed must be reduced. A minute or two is enough for the oil to mix well with the protein mass.

We lay out the finished meringue on the baked base, evenly distributing it over the entire surface.

This recipe for a cherry pie made from shortcrust pastry was shared with me by Katyusha, a regular reader of the site - this is the kind of pie that her household loves very much! We decided to try it. We love pastries with cherries, and have already tried many recipes: from the simplest sponge cake - white and chocolate, and quick puffs with cherries - to tempting Cherry with Cream cakes and chocolate-biscuit rolls. But this option, where the berries are baked in a delicate sour cream filling, is the first time I try. In terms of its composition, the pie seemed to me similar to the apple Tsvetaevsky - there is also sour cream filling with fruit in a sand base, only instead of cherries - apples.

I invite you to join and try with us the pie, which in the original source - on the website Chef.com.ua - is called very interestingly - cherry! Yes, yes, not cherry, but exactly like this :)

Ingredients:

For shape 24-26 cm
For shortcrust pastry:

  • 200 g butter;
  • 1 medium egg;
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar;
  • A pinch of salt;
  • On the tip of a teaspoon vanillin;
  • 300-350 g of wheat flour.

About 2-2 and 1/3 rounded cups; in a 200-gram glass, 130 g of flour is placed flush with the edges, and if with a slide, then 150-160 g. The exact amount depends on the flour, the size of the eggs.

For the cherry-sour cream filling:

  • 400-500 g pitted cherries, fresh or frozen;
  • 200 ml sour cream;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 100 g sugar (half a cup);
  • 2 tablespoons of corn starch or potato starch
  • Vanillin on the tip of a knife or a packet of vanilla sugar.

How to bake:

Let's prepare the cherries. If frozen - put in a colander to defrost to thaw and drain the juice. If fresh - wash, peel and also put in a colander. Too juicy berries can wet the shortcrust, and even when cooked, it may seem unbaked. So let the juice drain - don't pour it out, you can cook a delicious cherry compote from it and serve it with the pie!

Let's prepare shortbread dough. Sift flour into a bowl - not all at once, but two glasses; then, if necessary, it will be possible to add. Add salt, sugar, vanillin and butter, lightly softened and diced.

Grind everything into butter-flour crumbs, drive in an egg and quickly knead the dough.

It is not recommended to knead the shortbread dough for a long time, since the butter, warming up from the warmth of the hands, melts - as a result, the dough becomes sticky and more flour is required. And if you overdo it with it, the finished cake will be tough. But we want a crumbly one! Therefore, we do not especially knead: we quickly collect into a lump, and it's done. If the flour is still not enough - this happens if the flour is very finely ground or low moisture - add a little to get a soft dough that does not stick to your hands. We wrap it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Let's prepare the form - it will be more convenient to get the pie out of the split one, - tightening the bottom in a circle of parchment and slightly greasing the paper and the walls of the form with oil.

Preheat the oven to 180C.

Put the chilled dough in a mold and, pressing it with your hands, distribute it in an even layer. We form a cake with sides 2.5-3 cm high; the thickness of the cake depends on the size of the mold - about 0.5-0.7 cm.

Having pricked the cake with a fork, so as not to swell, put the form in the oven on a medium level and bake for about 15 minutes - until light golden and half cooked.

In the meantime, we do the filling: by combining eggs and sour cream ...

Add sugar, vanillin, starch ...

And beat everything with a whisk until smooth.

And here the cake is partially baked. If you immediately spread the berries and the filling on a raw crust, it may not bake properly, so you need to first bake the sand base a little bit separately. If the cake does become embossed, like the surface of a desert with sand dunes, do not worry. Once again, pierce that area with a fork or knife and gently press the dough to the bottom of the mold - not with your hand, of course, so as not to burn yourself, but with a spoon or an oven mitt. Of course, this number passes if the dough has not yet set completely, and is still soft. But this is how it should be, because we are not yet baking the cake until it is ready - the pouring also takes time to bake.

So, having taken out the form, sprinkle the cherries over the cake, first squeezing the juice out of them by hand (in a saucepan or plate - onto the compote).

We will crush the cherries with sugar.

And on top, carefully (preferably from a spoon, so that the evenly laid out cherries do not float away), fill the berries with sour cream filling.

We return the pie to the oven and bake for another 20-30 minutes. It is ready when the edges of the cake become ruddy-golden, and the filling seizes and hardens. Its consistency will change from liquid to casserole-like. If you see that the cake already wants to "tan" to brown, and the middle is shaking like jelly - reduce the heat to 160C and continue baking. You can put a frying pan with water on the bottom of the oven - it will not let the cake bake (and overexposed shortbread dough cracks when cutting) or burn.

Let the finished cake cool slightly in the form so as not to break the hot cake. Then, carefully opening the form, we move the pie onto the dish, slipping the dishes under the bottom of the cake and moving it to the side.

Here is our pie flaunts on a platter!

You can try! We cut the cherry-sour cream pie into portions and taste.

Sand pie with cherry filling and meringue

Few would refuse such a cake. Sandy base, thick cherry filling with cinnamon and airy vanilla meringue. Unrealistically delicious! After all, cherry and cinnamon are one of the most pleasant combinations of tastes.

Ingredients:
For the base: 75 gr. softened plums. oil, 75 gr. sugar, 1 egg, 0.5 tsp. baking powder Magic Tree, 150 gr. flour;
For the filling: 500 gr. pitted cherries, 120 gr. sugar, 2 tbsp. cornstarch, 1 tsp. ground cinnamon Magic Tree, 50 ml. water;
For Swiss meringue: 3 squirrels, 180 gr. sugar, vanillin Magic Tree;
Additionally: 1 tsp. cinnamon vanilla sugar Magic Tree, 2 cinnamon sticks

I'll prepare the base. Grind softened butter with sugar. I add the egg and baking powder. Stir in flour and knead soft dough. I send him to the freezer for half an hour.
Then I roll it into a circle with a diameter greater than the diameter of the mold (24 cm) to cover the sides. I transfer the dough to the mold, correct it. I send it to the freezer for 15 minutes.
I crush a piece of parchment for baking, straighten and cover the frozen base with it so that the sides are closed. I pour in peas, beans or rice. I do this so that the base retains its shape during baking.
I send it to the oven for 15 minutes. When the sides are reddened, I take out the weighting agent and the paper and bake it to a light golden color for another 10-15 minutes. I cool the base in the form.

I'll prepare the filling. I keep some of the berries whole, the rest I puree with a blender. I mix mashed potatoes with sugar. I heat it until the sugar dissolves. While stirring, I bring it to a boil. I add whole berries and cook for another minute. I pour in the starch dissolved in water and, constantly stirring, I boil until thick. Cooling down. I chill in the freezer 10 minutes before assembling the pie.

I'll make a meringue. In a heatproof bowl, combine the sugar, vanillin and proteins. I put it in a water bath and beat without a break with a mixer at the highest speed for about 10 minutes until solid peaks and a clear pattern with whisk. I take it off the bathhouse, and beat it a little more with a mixer. I transfer the meringue to a pastry bag with a nozzle.

For shortcrust pastry cherry pie dough, prepare butter. After taking it out of the refrigerator, chop it into pieces, place them in a blender container or other dish in which you cook the dough, and leave for a few minutes to soften. To speed up the process, you can put the butter in the microwave at low power 300-450 for a minute.

Then grind the butter with sugar and vanilla sugar, remember to toss in a pinch of salt.


Add flour, two cups is about 260 grams. Keep in mind that in one glass of 200 ml, 130 g of wheat flour is obtained, not 200! It is most convenient, and even more correct, to prepare shortbread dough using kitchen equipment. Shortcrust pastry is not the kind of dough that loves the warmth of the hands. Use the kneading knives or spatula to stir all the ingredients in the bowl of a blender or food processor.


The dough should look like a crumb. Pour in ice water and use your hands to collect the dough crumbs into one bowl. Further, two options are possible.


First: distribute the dough in the form in which you will bake the cake, i.e. cover the bottom with dough and form the sides.
Second, roll the dough out on baking paper or foil and then transfer the dough cake to the mold along with the surface it was rolled on.

In both versions, the dough needs to be chilled for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator or 5-10 minutes in the freezer.


Use the time while the dough is cooling to prepare the cherries for the filling. Cherries are used fresh, although you can experiment with thawed ...

You need to tear off the twigs with leaves and remove the seeds. There are special handy tools for removing seeds, and if they are not in your kitchen, use a suitable stick. This can be a sushi stick, the back of a blender whisk, and the like, something in the form of a stick with a diameter of 3-5 mm.

Squeeze the cherry in the palm of your hand, pierce the surface opposite the place where the fruit is attached to the branch with a stick, and then pierce it through. The stick will push the bone out where the twig was. Additionally, you can first mark the entry and exit points of the stick with a knife if you have little experience or you want the cherry to better retain its shape.


For chilled dough, often prick the surface with a fork and place in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. But the baking time still depends on the properties of the oven, so watch and catch the moment when the dough turns golden.


While the dough is in the oven, make the chocolate cream. To do this, heat milk or cream together with butter in the microwave under a hood or on the stove in a saucepan until almost boiling.


Break chocolate or even just inexpensive budget chocolate bars into random pieces and melt in this hot milk mass.
