This time I went for strawberries and pistachios \u2013 two of my favorite ingredients in the kitchen. A short crust pastry filled with pistachio cream and strawberry jam all topped with pistachio Chantilly cream and lots of whole strawberries and roasted pistachios.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15585\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15585\" class=\"wp-image-15585\" title=\"Strawberry and Pistachio Pie\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lilcookie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pistachio_and_strawberry_tart-s.jpg\" alt=\"Strawberry and Pistachio Pie\" width=\"800\" height=\"1127\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Natalie Levin<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6091382327871787\" data-ad-slot=\"7832461759\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><!--WPRM Recipe 20651--><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe\">\n<h2 class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-name\">Strawberry and Pistachio Pie<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-summary\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-equipment\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-ingredients\">\n<h4>For short crust pastry:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>150 grams (1 cup + 1 tbsp.) all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>100 grams (1\/2 cup) cold butter (cut into cubes)<\/li>\n<li>40 grams (4 tbsp.) icing sugar<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>1 egg yolk<\/li>\n<li>1-2 tbsp. cold water (as needed)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For pistachio and strawberry cream:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>100 grams (1 cup) natural pistachios (peeled)<\/li>\n<li>75 grams (1\/3 cup) cold butter cut into cubes<\/li>\n<li>100 grams (1\/2 cup) sugar<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp. vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>10 grams (1 tbsp.) cornstarch<\/li>\n<li>30 ml.

If the dough is not setting, gradually add a little water.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer the dough chunks on a lightly floured work surface and form a disc-shape with your hands.<\/li>\n<li>Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.<\/li>\n<li>Roll out the dough on a floured work surface about 3-4 mm thick and line the pie pan. It is important to create a right angle between the sides and the base of the crust, which will ensure the edges remain high when baking.<\/li>\n<li>Using a fork create holes in the crust.

Put in a pot and add in sugar and lemon juice.<\/li>\n<li>Cook over low-medium heat for 30-60 minutes, or until jam is formed. To check whether jam is ready, put a plate in the freezer. When it seems jam is ready, pour about 1 tablespoon of jam on the plate, wait a few seconds and then form a &#8220;path&#8221;. If the path remains open &#8211; jam is ready. If it closes &#8211; cook a little longer.<\/li>\n<li>Cool the jam slightly at room temperature and spread over the baked (cooled) pistachio cream in an even layer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Pistachio Chantilly cream:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>In a bowl of a mixer, whip cream, sugar powder, pistachio paste and pudding until very stable cream is formed.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a serrated 2 cm piping tip and drizzle generous mounds of cream over the pie, leaving about 1-2 cm in the edges for the strawberries.<\/li>\n<li>Arrange whole strawberries (relatively small) in the edges.
