Berry Fromage Pie - Bärpaj med fromage

BERRY FROMAGE PIE

Bärpaj med fromage

1 pie, serves 6 to 8

1.2 cup flour

4.4 oz butter or margarine

2½ tablespoons cold water

2.6 oz dark baking chocolate

Filling:

4 gelatin sheets

or 2 teaspoons gelatin powder

1.2 cup heavy cream

2 egg yolks

2 egg whites

0.2 cup powdered sugar

4 cups berries

Preheat oven to 392F.

Finely divide the fat in the flour until crumbly. Add water and quickly work to a dough. Flatten it out in a pie pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Store cold for about 30 minutes. Bake the pie crust in the middle of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until nicely colored. Melt the baking chocolate over a waterbath or in the microwave. Brush the warm pie crust with the chocolate so that it's covered. Place cold.

Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 to 6 minutes, or do as you normally do with the powder. Beat egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix half of the berries to a smooth puré. Stir them into the egg yolks. Beat the cream until stiff and the egg whites as well.

Squeeze out excess water from the gelatin sheets and melt them over low heat in a saucepan. Stir it into the cream in a thin but steady stream, add the egg yolk batter and then the egg whites. Place the fromage in the fridge to set for about 30 minutes. Gently stir remaining berries in and spoon the fromage into the pie crust. Leave in the fridge for a few hours.

Enjoy!
