Steps

  • Rub butter into sifted flour and salt, then mix with beaten eggs to form a dough ball and chill for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 29cm pie tin.
  • Boil blueberries, apple juice, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon for four minutes, then stir in pectin and cornflour.
  • Roll pastry to 0.5cm thickness and transfer it into the greased tin.
  • Bake the pastry blind with weights for 15 minutes, then bake for 12 minutes more until golden and cool.
  • Boil raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice for 4 minutes and strain through a sieve.
  • Whisk soaked gelatine and whipped cream into the raspberry mixture and chill until semi-set.
  • Spread the blueberry jam onto the cold pastry base and chill to set.
  • Whip cold double cream with icing sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form and place in a piping bag.
  • Pour raspberry filling over the jam, smooth the top, and chill for 30 minutes until set.
  • Simmer raspberry and blueberry coulis ingredients separately with 100ml water and cornflour until thickened, then strain and cool.
  • Pipe Chantilly cream rosettes in concentric circles on top of the set filling.
  • Pipe raspberry coulis swirls on half the rosettes and blueberry coulis on the other half.
  • Garnish with fresh berries and chill before serving.
