Ingredients

• 240 grams All-purpose flour
• 25 grams Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 170 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 60 ml Ice water
• 500 grams Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
• 120 grams Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 25 grams Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 4 Egg whites
• 200 grams Granulated sugar (for meringue)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Cream of tartar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges, tuck in the excess dough, and crimp decoratively. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and chill for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring it into the baked pie crust.

Step 7

Reduce oven temperature to 150°C (300°F).

Step 8

In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while beating, until stiff peaks form. Beat in the vanilla extract.

Step 9

Spread the meringue over the berry filling, ensuring it touches the edges of the crust to prevent shrinking. Use the back of a spoon to create peaks and swirls for texture.

Step 10

Bake the pie for 20–25 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Enjoy your gorgeous Mixed Berry Meringue Pie!
