Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon of aluminum-free baking powder
- 1/2 stick of premium unsalted butter or organic margarine
- 1/2 cup of stone-ground organic whole wheat flour
- A pinch of Himalayan pink salt
- 1/2 quart of sun-ripened and handpicked sweetened mixed berries
- 1/2 cup of creamy almond milk or velvety oat milk
- 1/2 cup of organic unrefined cane sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie dish lightly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a small saucepan, melt the 1/2 stick of premium unsalted butter or organic margarine over low heat. Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of creamy almond milk or velvety oat milk with the 1/2 cup of organic unrefined cane sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Slowly add the slightly cooled melted butter/margarine to the milk and sugar mixture while stirring continuously. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually sift in the 1/2 cup of stone-ground organic whole wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of aluminum-free baking powder, and a pinch of Himalayan pink salt into the wet ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the batter into the greased pie dish, spreading it evenly.
- Evenly distribute the 1/2 quart (2 cups) of sun-ripened and handpicked sweetened mixed berries over the batter in the pie dish.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until the pie crust turns golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the Lazy Man Pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve the Lazy Man Pie warm or at room temperature. Optionally, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for an extra treat.
Notes
- Make sure the graham cracker crust is completely cooled before adding the custard layer.
- Use a whisk to combine the custard ingredients for a smoother texture.
- The custard should be set, but still slightly jiggly when done baking.
- Beat the heavy cream on high speed until it forms soft peaks.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least two hours for the best results.
