Berry Glazed Pie ππ
Ingredients
For the crust: 200g of cornstarch cookies or milk cookies
100g of melted butter
For the glaze:
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (395g)
1 carton of heavy cream (200g)
1/2 cup of lemon juice (or 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, if you prefer a less citrusy flavor)
1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin (hydrated according to package directions)
For the topping:
2 cups of fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, etc.)
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of water
1 tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water
Instructions Preparation
Preparing the dough: Crush the cookies in a blender or food processor until they form fine crumbs.
Mix the crumbs with the melted butter until they resemble wet sand.
Line the bottom and sides of a springform pan (22 cm in diameter) with the mixture, pressing down firmly with a spoon.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
Preparing the frosting:
In a bowl, combine the condensed milk, cream, and lemon juice (or vanilla extract) until smooth.
Add the hydrated and dissolved gelatin (according to package directions) and mix well.
Pour the cream over the firmed dough in the pan and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the cream is firm.
Preparing the frosting:
In a saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries begin to release their juices (about 5 minutes). Add the cornstarch dissolved in the water and stir until the mixture thickens, forming a light jelly (about 2-3 minutes).
Let cool completely before using.
Assembly:
Remove the pie from the refrigerator and spread the berry topping over the already set frosting.
Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to let the topping set.
Serve:
Carefully unmold the pie and serve chilled. Garnish with fresh berries or basil leaves, if desired.
