No-Bake Strawberry and Speculoos Pie
Ingredients:
- 200g of speculoos biscuits
- 100g of melted butter
- 400g of strawberries, washed and rinsed
- 250g of mascarpone
- 100g of icing sugar
- Zest of a lemon
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Make the Crust:
- Crush the speculoos biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- In a bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the mixture into the base of a pie dish (or a tart pan) to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to pack it tightly and evenly. Place the crust in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
2. Prepare the Mascarpone Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone, icing sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more icing sugar if desired.
3. Assemble the Pie:
- Once the crust is set, spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the speculoos crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
4. Top with Strawberries:
- Slice the strawberries and arrange them on top of the mascarpone filling. You can either layer them or arrange them decoratively.
5. Chill the Pie:
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together and the pie to firm up.
6. Serve:
- Before serving, you can optionally garnish with a little extra lemon zest or some crushed speculoos biscuits for an extra crunch.
- Slice and enjoy this refreshing and creamy no-bake dessert!
