Instructions for Three Berry Pie
1. Wash berries and remove excess water. Pat dry with paper towel and set aside.
2.To make a pie crust, combine almond flour, coconut flour, sea salt, xanthan gum, and lemon zest in a food processor. Add butter and cream cheese and blend together. Add beaten eggs and vinegar and pulse for a few seconds until crumbly dough forms. Divide into two portions in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
3.For chia berry sauce, mix a half of the berries with half of the sweetener in a saucepan and simmer. Add ground chia seeds and lemon juice and stir. Set aside until the chia berry sauce cools completely.
4. For berry filling, combine gelatin powder, the remaining sweetener, and sea salt. Gently toss the remaining berries with the gelatin mix to make the berry filling.
5. Preheat oven to 210°C (410°F).
6. Take out one batch of dough from the refrigerator and roll out thinly. Fill the bottom of the pie pan to make a bottom crust. Add the berry filling and pour the cooled chia berry sauce.
7. Take out the other batch of dough from the fridge. Spread out thinly and cut into strips using a pizza cutter. Cover the pie with a lattice pie crust. Give the pie crust an egg white wash.
8. Bake the pie for 35 minutes. Cover the top with aluminium foil if it browns too quickly.
9. Take out the pie and cool down completely. Refrigerate overnight to set.
