Crostata alla frutta con crema pasticcera / Fruit pie with custard


I made two of these delicious pies in the last 5 days... I was invited to 2 barbecue dinners!
.
With the nice weather, you might not believe it but it is 30 degrees and sun with blue sky in Stockholm, everyone is staying outside more and having BARBECUEs...
.

FRUIT PIE with CUSTARD
Ingredients for the pie crust: 300 g flour, 100 g butter, 150 g sugar, 2 eggs, 1 lemon zest, vanilla pod, 1 tsp baking powder.
Ingredients for the filling: 500 ml lemon custard (quite dense), any fruit you like (strawberries, bananas, kiwis, etc...).
.
Mix all ingredients and make the pie cough, let it rest about 30 minutes. Roll out the dough in a pie form and bake the pie crust in oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes. Let the pie crust cool down, then fill it with lemon custard and decorate with any fruit you like.

p.s.: non è molto grande quella teglia, o sbaglio?

Wenny, grazie. Questa crostata è troppo buona. La teglia è 25cm di diametro.

Lars, thanks for the invitation. I would definitely like to come to your barbecue... and I would definitely make a pie in exchange without any problem.
Ciao,
Orchidea
