Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 cups mixed berries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the pre-made pie crust from refrigeration and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to prevent cracking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently mix until berries are evenly coated, ensuring the cornstarch helps thicken the fruit filling.
- Melt white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave. If using microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning.
- Spread half of the melted white chocolate across the bottom of the pie crust, creating a thin protective layer that will prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Pour the mixed berry mixture into the pie crust, spreading evenly and ensuring an even distribution of fruit.
- Drizzle the remaining melted white chocolate over the berry filling in a decorative pattern.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust edges turn golden brown and the berry filling begins to bubble.
- Remove from oven and let the pie cool completely at room temperature for approximately 2 hours, allowing the filling to set properly.
- Before serving, refrigerate for an additional hour to enhance the filling's consistency and flavor melding.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- For the best white chocolate melting, use high-quality chocolate chips and stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Choose a mix of fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a more complex flavor profile.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before serving to help the filling set properly and enhance flavor melding.
- For a professional presentation, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
- If the pie crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil during baking.
- Refrigerate leftovers and consume within 2-3 days for optimal taste and texture.
