    It’s time for some cake! The last recipes have been more on the savory side of life – for example the green sandwiches or the flambéed goat cheese… that means it’s time for something sweet again! Don’t you think so too?! This delicious custard pie with cherries and streusel is perfect to bring your sweetness level back to normal :P

    I am a big fan of fresh cherries – unfortunately the season for cherries is short and far far away ;) Fortunately you can get them all year round in the supermarket as preserves and even better – they work pretty well in most cakes. Cherry Pie all year long! Yay! :)) For this pie you can use those tinned cherries or fresh ones – both fine.

    I really love custard pies. Many recipes (at least here in Germany) ask for a pre-made custard mix. No need to use something like that. Cornstarch and a vanilla bean pod or vanilla extract are all you need. Maybe also an egg if you want it to be bit more yellow. If you want to use other fruits or berries, do so – raspberries, apricots, pears – all fine. Just make sure to drain them well, so you don’t get too much liquid in the pie filling.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Grease a 9.5 inch (24cm) pie or springform tin and set aside. Pour the cherries into a sieve and let drain.

    2. In a large bowl mix flour and sugar. Add the butter in small pieces and shake the bowl a bit so the butter is covered with the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter and cut the butter into small pieces. Add vanilla extract and egg and mix in – it works best if you use your hands and rub the mixture between your fingers until small crumbs form. Add bit more than 1/2 of the streusel and pour into the prepared tin. Press to the bottom and sides to form a nice crust.

    3. For the filling mix cornstarch, sugar and some of the milk in a small bowl until you get a smooth mixture – there should be no lumps. Slit the vanilla bean pod lengthwise and remove the seeds – add both together with the remaining milk to a saucepan and heat up slowly until it starts boiling. When you see the first bubbles, remove the vanilla bean and add the cornstarch mix – bring to a boild and stir constantly until you get a thick custard (Wash and dry the vanilla bean pod and use it for vanilla extract or vanilla sugar). Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg until well combined. Set aside.

    4. Pour the custard on the prepared crust, top with the cherries (distribute evenly) and sprinkle with the remaining streusel. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Take out of the oven when the streusel get a nice golden color and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    1. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine ca. 24cm (9.5 inch) Pie- oder Springform einfetten und zur Seite stellen. Die Kirschen in ein Sieb schütten und abtropfen lassen.

    2. In einer großen Schüssel Mehl und Zucker mischen. Die weiche Butter in kleinen Stücken zugeben und etwas im Mehl schwenken – mit einer Teigkarte/Teigmischer die Butter in kleine Stückchen zerteilen und etwas in das Mehl einarbeiten. Den Vanille Extrakt und das Ei zugeben und untermischen – das geht am Besten, indem man die Masse zwischen den Fingern zerreibt, bis größere Streusel entstehen. Etwas mehr als die Hälfte der Streusel in die vorbereitete Form schütten und an Boden und Seiten festdrücken, damit ein schöner Rand entsteht.

    3. Für die Füllung die Speisestärke mit dem Zucker und etwas von der Milch in einer kleinen Schale/Tasse glattrühren. Die Vanilleschote längs aufschlitzen und das Mark herauskratzen und beides zusammen mit der restlichen Milch in einen kleinen Topf geben und unter ständigem Rühren langsam zum Kochen bringen. Sobald die Milch kocht die ausgekratzte Vanilleschote herausnehmen und die angerührte Stärke zugeben und unterrühren (die Vanilleschote kann man abwaschen, trocknen und dann für Vanille Extrakt oder Vanillezucker verwenden). Den Pudding einmal kurz aufkochen lassen, dann vom Herd nehmen und das Ei unterrühren.

    4. Die Puddingmasse in die Form füllen, die abgetropften Kirschen darauf verteilen und dann mit den Streuseln bedecken. Im Ofen 40-45 Minuten backen. Wenn die Streusel eine leicht goldene Farbe bekommen haben herausnehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen.
