Strawberries pie
l Switch language for recipe in French l
Depending of the season in your country, it may not be the right time for you to prepare this strawberries pie. But don’t be frustrated you can rather use raspberries, blackberries, or a mix of fruits of the forest. Why not try this recipe with juicy black figs?
As usual, I make a homemade pastry, shortcrust pastry or sugar dough, according to the mood. Sugar dough is a bit too sweet for me for this recipe, cream already provides enough sugar to the pie. It’s an easy recipe, you will have to cook the dough completely before assembling as strawberries (it’s the same for other red fruits) doesn’t cook.
