Cherry and custard pie

8 servings

60 minutes

Cherry pie with custard is a true embodiment of refined European pastry. Its roots trace back to the traditions of French and Austrian confectioners who created desserts combining airy dough, delicate cream, and sweet-sour berries. This pie delights with contrasting textures: soft sponge cake with a crispy crust harmonizes with silky custard, while juicy cherries add a refreshing tartness. Its aroma captivates from the first moments of baking, filling the home with warmth and sweet anticipation. Such a dessert is perfect for festive tea gatherings or leisurely evenings with a cup of aromatic coffee. It not only pleases the palate but also offers aesthetic pleasure with its delicate color combination and enticingly soaked structure.
