Preparation
Step 1
Start with the dough. Use premium wheat flour.
Step 2
In a blender bowl, combine flour, diced butter, and sugar. Blend into crumbs. You can also rub it by hand, but a blender is much faster.
Step 3
Pour the crumbs into a bowl and add one egg.
Step 4
Quickly knead into smooth shortcrust dough. As soon as it forms a ball and stops sticking to your hands and bowl, it’s ready.
Step 5
Spread the dough over the bottom and sides of a parchment-lined baking pan (Ø 9-10 in / 22-26 cm). A springform or tart pan with fluted edges works well. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Cover the dough with parchment, fill with baking weights (like dry beans), and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for 15 minutes.
Step 7
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Choose firm kiwis; soft ones don’t hold shape well.
Step 8
Peel the kiwis and slice into thin rounds.
Step 9
Prepare the custard. Use large eggs; if small, take 3.
Step 10
Beat the eggs with sugar until fluffy and foamy.
Step 11
Add sour cream and mix gently with a whisk or spatula.
Step 12
Separately, whip cold cream until stiff peaks form.
Step 13
Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg-sour cream mixture.
Step 14
The mass should be airy, fluffy, and uniform.
Step 15
Place half of the kiwi slices over the slightly baked crust in a single layer.
Step 16
Pour the cream-egg mixture on top. Return to the oven for 25-30 minutes. If the surface browns too much, cover with parchment or foil.
Step 17
Remove from the oven, let rest a few minutes. The top should set and support the kiwi slices. Arrange remaining kiwi slices on top and bake another 10 minutes at 320°F (160°C).
Step 18
Cool the pie, carefully transfer to a serving dish, and serve. Enjoy!
