Sour cream pie with berries is a delicate treat that combines airy yeast dough, the refreshing taste of berries, and the velvety creamy texture of sour cream filling. This dessert is rooted in European culinary traditions where simplicity of ingredients transforms into an exquisite delight. The sweet sour cream mixture soaks into the base, creating a wonderful contrast between creamy softness and the tart freshness of berries. This pie is perfect for cozy home tea gatherings, and its preparation allows for a subtle play of flavors despite a minimal set of components. Left overnight in a cool place, it gains richness and delights with a balance of sweetness and tenderness when served. It is good as an independent dessert or accompanied by a cup of fragrant tea or coffee.

Pre-thawed dough is rolled out: it is usually sold in a roll, in which case the dough should be folded in half and rolled out that way.

Bake at a temperature of 170–190 degrees for 40 minutes to an hour. You can check readiness by the cracks appearing on the sour cream — this means it has thickened enough. The pie should rest overnight in a cool place; it's better not to serve it hot, you might burn yourself!
