This article describes the best reviews of sweet tooth recipes for raspberry tarts for the most demanding tastes: different types of dough, decoration and composition will not leave indifferent any lover of this fragrant berry. A special highlight is the vegan pie, which will make you look at the preparation of pastries in a completely different way.
What raspberries are better to use for pies
When preparing a raspberry pie, it is important to consider what kind of dough it is made from, and whether the pie will be closed or not.
For closed cakes, when the berry is invisible from above, as well as for cakes in which the berry is mixed in the batter, you can take frozen or fresh raspberries, but for open or with the use of jelly layer it is better to take fresh large berries that better keep their shape.
Kefir Pie
A simple recipe for a frozen raspberry pie that can be cooked in minutes:
- One glass of kefir and raspberries.
- Two eggs.
- 150 grams of granulated sugar.
- 0.5 teaspoon of soda.
- 80 grams of butter or margarine.
- 250 grams of wheat flour.
Melt the butter and mix with sugar and kefir, add beaten eggs. Sift flour, mix with soda and mix it with kefir mass, add raspberries at the very end, without thawing. Pour the dough into a silicone mold and bake in an oven at a temperature of 200 degrees until cooked, which is checked by a match. Before serving, be sure to sprinkle the cooled pie with berries with powdered sugar.
Tsvetaevsky pie with raspberries
The apple pies of the Tsvetaev’s sisters have long enjoyed the love of the sweet tooth, so much so that based on their motifs, a variation with raspberries was created that is in no way inferior to the original. For the step-by-step preparation of a shortbread cake with raspberries and sour cream filling, and this is a hallmark of Tsvetaevo's pie, you need to:
- Grate 250 grams of flour with 120 grams of butter in flour crumbs, add 0.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 100 grams of sugar. Stir and drive one egg mixed with three tablespoons of ice water. Knead the steep dough and, wrapped in polyethylene, send to the refrigerator for an hour.
- Roll out the dough into a thin layer and place it in a detachable form, stretching it with your fingers, forming sides three cm high. Put some croup (pearl barley or peas) on top so that the dough does not swell during baking, and put it in a preheated oven (180 degrees) for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the cereal, and place two glasses of raspberries on the dough, distributing it in an even layer.
- Beat two eggs with a pinch of vanilla and 120 grams of sugar in a light foam, add a glass of sour cream and mix thoroughly. Pour raspberries on the cake with this mixture and put in the oven again for 30 minutes.
Such a cake is served completely chilled, since the warm structure of the sour cream filling is unstable, it is necessary to wait for it to solidify and only then remove the cake from the mold.
From puff pastry
It is very easy to make a raspberry pie from puff pastry, which is easiest to buy ready-made and frozen. To do this, take one package (450 grams) of dough and, after thawing, roll out a thin layer, which is divided into two unequal parts. We place a large one in a baking dish, forming small sides, then mix 400 grams of raspberries with 100 grams of sugar and 2 tbsp. tablespoons of potato starch (it will absorb the allocated juice when baking).
We place the raspberry filling on the base from the dough, and from the remaining layer we cut the strips with a 1 cm wide curly knife, from them we form a mesh on the cake, tightly pressing along the edges and gluing them with an egg if necessary. Next, grease the entire top of the dough with an egg whipped with a small amount of milk or sugar, send it to the oven for 20 minutes. Ready cake can be served immediately, cut into portions, garnished with whipped cream or sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Vegan raspberry pie
Vegan raspberry pie differs from its counterparts primarily in its stunning aroma and pinkish pulp of dough, as well as an unusual taste that will be remembered forever. Prepared from so:
- 50 grams of brown sugar is mixed with 150 grams of coconut oil melted in a water bath, it is better than cold pressed - it is more aromatic. Those who wish can replace sugar with honey, but vegans, as you know, do not consume it.
- One hundred grams of starch is mixed with 200 grams of wheat flour and another 50 grams of wheat or rye bran and 1 teaspoon of baking powder for dough are added to them. The mixture is mixed and combined with oil.
- A handful of chopped walnuts and 1.5 cups raspberries are added to the dough, everything is gently mixed and placed in a baking dish lined with parchment.
The cake is baked in the oven at a temperature of 160-170 degrees until cooked for forty minutes or a little longer.
No baking
The simplest raspberry pie can be considered the jelly version without baking, which requires only 500 grams of yogurt or cream, a pack of gelatin (25 grams), 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 cups of fresh berries. Soak gelatin in 150 grams of cold water for 15 minutes and then heat it in a water bath until dissolved. Mix sugar with yogurt, wait until crystals are dissolved, mix with gelatin, be sure to stir the mixture. Pour raspberries, gently mixing again, pour into a silicone mold and place in a cool place to solidify.
Round wafer layers are used as a basis for the pie: three of them are glued together with condensed milk or Nutella and covered with a jelly mass starting to solidify.
Before serving, carefully turn the form over with the wafer layer down, remove the form, and decorate the cake with fresh raspberries and grated chocolate chips.
