Kiwi pie in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a bright kiwi pie? To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Start cooking with the dough. Use premium flour.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a blender bowl, combine flour, diced butter and sugar. Grind everything into crumbs. You can grind the dough into crumbs with your hands, but I have been using a blender for this purpose for a long time - it’s much faster.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour the resulting crumbs into a bowl, add the egg.

4. STEP 4

   

   Quickly knead a homogeneous shortbread dough. As soon as the dough begins to form a lump and pulls away from the sides of the bowl and your hands, it is ready.

5. STEP 5

   

   Spread the dough over the bottom and sides of a parchment-lined baking dish (Ø 22-26 cm). A springform pan or tart pan with fluted edges will work. Place the pan with the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place parchment paper on the dough, pour a weight on top (I used dry beans). Place the pan in an oven preheated to 180°C for 15 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Take strong kiwis. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well and may spread during slicing or baking.

8. STEP 8

   

   Peel the kiwi and cut into thin slices.

9. STEP 9

   

   Now prepare the filling. You need large, selected eggs. If the eggs are small, take 3 pieces.

10. STEP 10

    

    Using a mixer, beat the eggs with sugar into a fluffy foam.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add sour cream and mix the mixture with a whisk or spatula.

12. STEP 12

    

    Separately, whip the cold cream into a stable foam.

13. STEP 13

    

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg-sour cream mixture.

14. STEP 14

    

    The mass should be airy, fluffy and homogeneous.

15. STEP 15

    

    Place half of the kiwi in a single layer on the lightly baked crust.

16. STEP 16

    

    Pour the creamy egg mixture on top. Return the pie to the oven for another 25-30 minutes. If you see that the surface of the pie has begun to brown heavily on any side, cover the pan with a double sheet of parchment or foil.

17. STEP 17

    

    Remove the pie from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. The surface should grip well and support the weight of the kiwi. Place the remaining kiwi slices on the set surface. Bake the pie for about 10 minutes more at 160°C.

18. STEP 18

    

    Cool the finished pie, carefully transfer to a dish and serve. Bon appetit!

Hooray! A pie with kiwi in the oven appeared in the feed! I just love kiwi, but there aren’t very many dishes featuring this exotic dish. We don’t eat salads with kiwi, but we ate the sweet pie quickly) I don’t often bake pies with a shortbread base, it doesn’t always work out for me, so it took me a long time to get ready for this baking. This time the base was baked well, thanks to the fact that it was baked separately first. I did everything according to the instructions, after baking the cake, I laid out the kiwi slices, poured the filling on top and baked. The last layer of kiwi was baked for 15 minutes, which is probably why the green color faded a little. But this is not at all important) I cooled the pie well before serving; it seemed to me that the filling was a bit runny when warm. After cooling, we tried the pie and the whole family was pleased. The sand base is well baked, tasty like a cookie) The filling has become like a creamy custard, very tender, sweet and it has thickened significantly. Kiwis are slightly sour after heat treatment, which goes well with the sweet cream. Delicious pie, I'm happy with the result. Thank you!
