【Almond Cream Prune Pie】

Overview

The skin of prunes is purple-black and the flesh is amber, which looks quite attractive. Prunes have a fragrant smell, thick flesh, and sweet and sour taste. Fresh prunes are rich in iron, phosphorus, potassium and other minerals, as well as vitamin A and a large amount of fiber, but do not contain fat and cholesterol. Therefore, prunes are a very delicious and healthy fruit. They have many benefits for the elderly and children. Usually sweet and sour fruits, such as apples, peaches, oranges, etc., are very suitable for making snacks! Through their catalysis, they can not only give the food the fresh aroma of fruits, but also neutralize the greasy feeling of butter. Prunes are no exception. For today’s almond cream prune pie, I used Kojima Rumi’s universal tart crust recipe. The filling is simply almond cream made from almond flour and butter, and is dotted with sliced fresh prunes in the middle. It’s not complicated to make and quite satisfying to eat! ! The outer skin is crispy and flaky, it’s so delicious! The filling is rich and mellow, and paired with the sweet and sour taste of the prunes, it’s a perfect match! A delicious snack recommended by five stars! (The following quantities can make two pies with a diameter of 17~18cm)

It is best for the sheet to be thicker in the middle and thinner around it, and its diameter can be 5~7cm larger than the diameter of the finished product.
