Pie with melted white chocolate in dough. White chocolate cake

Something did not arouse enthusiasm in your hearts. Only ten people decided to leave a few words about their impressions, but I hope at least twenty bake it.
However, I offer one more recipe. Again a pie with filling, again amazingly fragrant. But this time the cake is filled with white chocolate, and the raspberries give a wonderful aroma. I added ground almonds to the dough; the cake with almonds will be more crumbly and, of course, tasty.
And a little theory about pies with fillings.
You can use any dough for such pies - chopped puff pastry, cottage cheese, simply chopped and shortbread. . An important and common point for all types of dough is that the base must be baked in advance so that the filling does not soak it later. Typically this baking takes 20-25 minutes. First, the cake is baked, pressing the bottom with a weight (so that it does not swell and the edges do not slip), and then the weight is removed and the bottom is dried. You can bake without a load - just prick the bottom well with a fork and look into the oven while baking. If the bottom is swollen, you can simply press it with your hand and continue baking.
Fillings for pies are made liquid; they must be baked in the oven. Eggs (or just yolks), as well as starch or flour are used as thickeners. The prepared mixture is poured onto the pie and baked at 160-180C until the pie is ready, on average about half an hour.
This way you can come up with any pie filling you like. Fruits and berries are often added to such pies. Experiment, you might end up with something unusual and tasty!

Dough:
100g flour
100g ground almonds
100g butter
50g sugar
1 egg
half a vanilla pod, seeds

200g white chocolate
300g cream (10-20%)
4 yolks
250g raspberries
vanilla bean seeds if the chocolate is without vanillin

shape 23 cm
preheat the oven to 200C, then to 160C

For the dough, place cold butter, flour, almonds, and sugar in a food processor.

Chop into crumbs, add an egg.

Knead the dough (it will stick together into a lump).

Roll out the dough, put it in a mold, put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. Prick and bake at 200C for 25 minutes.

While baking, prepare the filling. Break up the white chocolate.

Pour boiling cream, stir with a spatula until the chocolate is completely dissolved.

Add the yolks to the warm mixture, stir until smooth.

Place raspberries on the hot crust (set aside a few berries for decoration).

Fill with chocolate mixture.

Bake for 35 minutes at 160C or until done. The surface should be baked.

Cool, garnish with raspberries and serve.

I've been baking white chocolate pie occasionally for almost a year now. Because it is done quite simply and quickly, and the result is quite interesting for the taste/time spent ratio. People have been asking me for the recipe for a long time. I didn’t write for a long time because I wanted to take good step-by-step photos. But the truth of life is that I do it before bed, when the light is bad, and the child is so trying to join the process that it is very difficult to take thoughtful, high-quality photos at this moment. So for now I’ll write the recipe in words, otherwise I’ll have to wait another year :) If someone likes the result, then maybe later I’ll rework this post and add photos to make it even more useful. For now, that's it.

100g white chocolate
40g butter
2 eggs
20g and 20g sugar
15ml cream
15ml Grand Marnier (orange liqueur)
Half a vanilla pod
30g flour (weak flour for those in Japan)
1 tsp powdered sugar

Preliminary:
1. Melt white chocolate with butter in a water bath.
2. Separate the whites from the yolks into two different cups.
3. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.

1. Add 20g of sugar to the cup with the yolks and beat until white with a mixer (an insufficiently beaten yolk can lead to an unpleasant egg smell remaining in the finished products).
2. Add cream, liqueur and vanilla seeds. Mix a little more with a mixer.
3. Using a rubber spatula, stir together the white chocolate and butter and add the mixture to the batter. Mix with the same spatula.
4. Sift the flour and gently fold it into the dough with a spatula.
5. In a small bowl, beat the whites with sugar (20g) to stiff peaks. Add sugar in small portions 2-3 times.
6. Fold the whipped egg white into the dough. First add a third of the mixture and mix gently. Then add the remaining protein. Stir in gently to maintain airiness. In this case, you need to make sure that the dough becomes homogeneous and that there is no layer of oil left at the bottom of the cup.
7. Pour into a mold (a diameter of 15-18 cm is suitable). Bake for 35-40 minutes at 160 degrees.
8. Immediately remove from the oven. When the cake has cooled a little, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

I haven’t written recipes for a long time, and I don’t really understand whether everything is written correctly. There are no photos yet. So if you have any questions about the process, write, I’ll try to explain in more detail.

The flavor of this cake depends on how tasty the white chocolate is and the type of vanilla used. Ideally, white chocolate should be of high quality, and vanilla beans should be natural. But I very rarely buy imported white chocolate, because you have to go to a certain supermarket to buy it, and the difference in taste is minimal - after all, such a mass is figuratively chocolate. But I am in favor of using natural vanilla seeds. They give such a flavor that it is difficult to use substitutes later. But if the pods are not available, then a substitute is worth trying (ten drops for the entire dough). It must be borne in mind that the extracts sold also come in different qualities and aroma.

The pie turns out moist and dense due to the large amount of fat. I most often have cream, but if I didn’t have it, I would try without it. They also add saturation, but the difference is not very critical, I think, with such an amount.

Orange liqueur is highly desirable. The use of alcohol in home-baked goods greatly distinguishes the taste of home-made products from store-bought ones. When I run out of orange liqueur, I add another alcohol from what I have. It turns out worse, but better with any alcohol than without - it enhances the taste. Just think logically about what you have that goes with white chocolate. You can experiment with using orange zest. I have candied orange peels, I’ll try to make some more with them.

The pie sags a little in the center under the weight of the dough. This is fine.

A silicone spatula makes working with dough very easy. If anyone in Japan is looking for which one is better, I recommend this large spatula with both hands. It is very flexible, it is very easy for her to work, mix ingredients into the dough, and you can collect all the dough from the cup to the last drop.

Well, I collected a few more photos of this pie that have flashed throughout the year on my Instagram.

Raspberry pie with white chocolate

Hi all!

Yesterday I got around to baking, so to speak, “for myself”)) I had saved a recipe I liked for a long time, but somehow I didn’t have the free time to bake it. But yesterday I got bored. And when I’m bored, I cook)) This is such a strange feature)) I’m sharing the recipe with you because it’s just an awesome pie, guys. The most gentle!!! Awesome!!!

Ingredients:

Preparation:

Place the butter and chocolate in a bowl or plate and melt in a water bath or in the microwave. I heated it in the microwave, it took 1 minute. Leave the mixture to cool slightly.

Pour sugar into a cup and beat in the eggs. Beat with a mixer until the mass turns white and increases in volume. Add flour and stir. Then pour in the chocolate-butter mixture and beat a little with a mixer.

Prepare the form. I baked in a 30*20 cm glass, covering it with parchment paper. If you bake in a silicone mold, then you don’t need to cover it with anything.

Pour the dough into the mold.

Sprinkle cranberries on top of the dough. My berries are fresh. If you use frozen, you must first defrost it and allow excess liquid to drain. Place the pie in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes. Baking time will depend on your oven. If the top of the pie is already browned, but the pie itself is raw, then cover the pie with foil and continue baking until done. We check readiness with a wooden stick (skewer, toothpick). Stick it into the pie and take it out. The stick must be dry.

Remove the finished pie from the mold and let cool slightly on a wire rack. This is done so that the cake does not become soggy from the steam released.

This pie turns out very tender and tasty. It's a little moist, but still crumbly. Well, the berry sourness gives the pie its unique piquancy.
