I fell in love with this pie after the very first bite! A buttery shortcrust base, a juicy berry filling, and a light, fluffy meringue topping make it the perfect summer dessert. I used a 23 cm (9-inch) baking pan because that was the only one I had on hand. For a taller pie with more defined layers, I recommend using a 20 cm (8-inch) pan.

Steps

40 mins

1

Mix the softened butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar.
2

Add the egg yolks, salt, flour, and baking powder, then knead into a soft dough.
3

Transfer the dough directly into the baking pan, spread it evenly, and form sides about 3 cm (1¼ inches) high. Place the pan in the refrigerator.
4

Blend the berries until smooth.
5

Take a small amount of the berry puree and mix it with the cornstarch until fully combined.
6

Pour the cornstarch mixture back into the remaining berry puree. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. Continue cooking for 1 minute.
7

Add the sugar to the hot berry mixture and stir well.
8

Remove the pan from the refrigerator and bake the crust at 190°C (375°F) for 10–12 minutes.
9

Spread the berry filling over the crust and bake for another 10 minutes.
10

Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt, gradually adding the sugar and vanilla sugar until stiff peaks form.
11

Spread the meringue over the pie and bake for another 10 minutes at 190°C (375°F).
12

Let the pie cool slightly before serving and enjoy!
