Outside the window is a bright sun. On the calendar is summer. At such a time, it is simply impossible to refuse delicious cakes with berry or fruit fillings! The most important thing is that all the recipes below are also suitable for the cold season. Pie with frozen cherries or strawberries is a hello from the summer.
Time to bake pies
No wonder they say that a delicious pie is an indicator of the culinary skill and professionalism of any housewife. Not everyone can bake a confectionery the first time. Only the strictest adherence to technology and the competent combination of all ingredients will allow you to enjoy a truly magnificent, fragrant and delicious pie with frozen cherries, strawberries and other fillings.
Where to start? The most important thing is to decide what type of dough will be used to make a confectionery treat. You can bake a delicious layer cake with frozen cherries, you can make a dessert from yeast or shortcrust pastry. It depends on the latter which ingredients will be used.
Cooking a yeast dough pie
The main ingredients for the dough are yeast, flour and water. You can add eggs, kefir, as well as butter or vegetable oil. Experienced confectioners recommend using fresh or pressed yeast. They are produced in convenient packaging, they are easily divided in portions. In addition, such a product is very convenient to store and use in the future. It's no secret that a pie with frozen cherries is best obtained from fresh yeast.
For any pie, you should use premium wheat flour. It is very important to sift it before use - this will only improve the taste of the finished dish.
There is one rule that all professional confectioners adhere to - all dry ingredients (flour, salt and sugar) are mixed first. And only then all the other components are added to them: eggs, water, kefir or milk.
What liquid is used for pies? Someone prefers water, someone - milk or kefir. In any case, the taste of the cake depends on the quality of the base: if water, then be sure to drink, if milk is only natural.

Step by step recipe
To make a biscuit, you need to separate the proteins and yolks. Beat the last with a mixer until a whitish froth forms with half the norm of sugar. And put the proteins in the freezer, after which they also need to be beaten with the remaining sugar until a stable foam is formed.
Sift flour and add cocoa. Stir and add whipped yolks with half whipped proteins. Stir thoroughly, then gently introduce the remaining proteins.
Pour the dough into a mold and bake a biscuit in a preheated oven. After 40-50 minutes, remove the biscuit from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature. Put butter in a bowl and mix with condensed milk.
Transfer the cherries to a colander so that the glass is excess liquid. From the finished biscuit, cut the lid 1.5 cm thick, lay it to the side. Using a spoon and knife, remove the inside of the biscuit so that a so-called box of dough is formed. It should be lightly soaked with alcohol remaining after cherries.
At the same time, cut the pulp of biscuit into cubes, soak in butter cream, mix with cherries and fill in the “box”, cover and put in the refrigerator. The frozen cherry pie is almost ready. It remains only to whip the cream with sugar, warm them together until completely dissolved. Add chocolate there and melt it. Then remove from heat and add butter. Once the mixture is homogeneous, it can be coated with a pie. 2-3 hours after that, you can treat everyone to a cake with frozen cherry.

First of all, you need to defrost the dough. To do this, it is enough to leave it in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 40 minutes, then divide it into 3 equal parts (one of them will go to decorate the cake). One piece of dough must be rolled out and lined with a baking dish, removing excess edges.
Grease the surface of the dough with thick cherry jam and lay out the berries, leaving for decoration. After this, the filling should be sprinkled with starch (it is best to do this with a sieve). It is needed so that the cake does not become wet. The rest of the dough should be rolled out and cut into thin strips 1 cm wide. They need to weave a mesh on the surface of the pie. Remove the remaining pieces and wrap them in the edges of the baking dish with pinching. Put one cherry in free cells. It remains only to send the cake to the oven and after half an hour serve it to the table, decorating with fresh mint leaves.

Put the dough in a mold greased with vegetable oil to get low sides. Put in the refrigerator. Now you can cook the filling. First you need to wipe the cottage cheese through a sieve. Separate the squirrels from the yolks. Mix the latter with cottage cheese and add sugar and starch. To mix everything.
