Cherry and Blackcurrant Pie
8 servings
60 minutes
Cherry and black currant pie is a refined combination of tart-sweet berries and crispy dough, creating a harmony of flavors. This dessert originates from European cuisine, where fresh berries are traditionally used for baking. The delicate shortcrust base with aromatic filling and nutty almond notes makes the pie wonderfully balanced. The cherry adds a pleasant tartness, while the black currant enhances the richness of flavor. Served chilled, it perfectly complements a cup of fragrant tea or coffee. Such a pie will adorn any table – from cozy family tea gatherings to exquisite dinners.
