Shortbread pie with cherries
6 servings
60 minutes
Cherry sand pie is the embodiment of a classic European dessert that combines tender, crumbly dough with a juicy sweet-sour filling. The history of such pies dates back to medieval Europe, where shortcrust pastry was considered the ideal base for fruit desserts. Cherries soaked in their own juice give the pie a bright flavor and rich aroma, while the top layer of jelly adds an exquisite finish. It is perfect for cozy evenings with a cup of tea or as a festive treat. This pie pleasantly surprises with contrasting textures: a crispy base, juicy berries, and delicate jelly create a harmony of taste. It can be served as an independent dessert or complemented with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for special enjoyment.
