Sadne košarice - Fruit pies

Počasi se že začenjajo toplejši meseci, ko si zaželimo bolj osvežilnih sladic in sadne košarice so odlične za ta čas, ko je na voljo tudi veliko svežega sadja. Danes sem se odločila za kombinacijo jagod in borovnic, uporabimo pa lahko katero koli vrsto sezonskega sadja ali pa sadje iz kompota. Nadev sem danes pripravila iz vanilijevega pudinga, velikokrat pa naredim tudi domačo vanilijevo kremo ali čokoladno kremo - ganache. Sadne košarice so odlična ideja za majhen posladek po kosilu, postrežemo pa jih lahko tudi na zabavi ali vzamemo s seboj na piknik. Recept je povzet po receptu objavljenemu v reviji OK izpred nekaj let.

Sestavine

(za približno 40 košaric)

Testo:

• 250g masla 
• 200g sladkorja v prahu
• 500g moke
• 4 rumenjaki
• 3 žlice kisle smetane
• ščepec soli

Nadev:

• 2 zavitka vanilijevga pudinga
• 1l mleka
• 6 žlic sladkorja

• 150g čokolade
• približno 300g sadja

Postopek

• Vse sestavine za testo hitro umesimo, da se povežejo. Testo lahko umesimo z mešalcem ali pa na roke, važno je le to, da ga ne pregnetemo preveč, saj potem ne bo tako okusno. Testo pokrijemo in postavimo v hladilnik ter ga pustimo počivati, vsaj pol ure.
• Ohlajeno testo razvaljamo, ga razrežemo na krogce s pomočjo noža ali kozarca in ga položimo v namaščene modelčke (če so modelčki silikonski, jih ni potrebno namastiti). Testo z vilicami nekajkrat prebodemo, nato pa modelčke zopet postavimo na hladno za približno 1 uro (jaz jih velikokrat postavim kar v zamrzovalnik za 20 minut oz. dokler ni testo trdo). 
• Pečico segrejemo na 180° C. Ko se je testo malo strdilo, modelčke postavimo v pečico in pečemo približno 20 minut oz. dokler ne dobijo lepe rumeno-rjave barve. Spečene košarice postavimo iz pečice in pustimo, da se ohladijo.
• Nad paro raztopimo čokolado in z njo premažemo ohlajene košarice. Med tem ko čakamo, da se čokolada strdi, lahko naredimo nadev.
• Za nadev skuhamo puding po navodilih na vrečki ali pa naredimo domačo vanilijevo ali čokoladno kremo. Ko je nadev skuhan, čezenj položimo folijo za živila, da se na vrhu ne more izsušiti. Malo ohlajeno kremo nato nadevamo v košarice.
• Operemo, osušimo in narežemo sadje, da bo primerne velikosti za košarice in ga položimo na nadev. Če želimo, lahko sadje premažemo z malo segrete marmelade, da bo sadje izgledalo še bolj privlačno.
• Košarice lahko postrežemo takoj ali pa jih za nekaj časa postavimo v hladilnih in postrežemo ohlajene. 

English version

The warmer months are just around the corner and they are calling for some refreshing delights. These little fruit pies are just perfect for this time, when it's a bit hotter outside and there are more delicious fresh fuits available. I chose a combination of strawberries and blueberries, but you can use any combination of fresh of canned fruits. For the filling I made vanilla pudding, but usually a use homemade vanilla pastry cream or ganache. The pies are great for a light desert after lunch, but you can also make them for a party or a picnic. This recipe is made after a recipe from a Slovenian magazine.

Ingredients

(for about 40 little pies)

Dough:

• 250g butter
• 200g powdered sugar
• 500g flour
• 4 egg yolks
• 3tbs sour cream
• pinch of salt

Filling:

• 2 packs of vanilla pudding
• 1l milk
• 6tbs of sugar

• 150g chocolate
• about 300g fruit

Procedure

• Mix all the ingredients for the dough until they are all combined. You can use a mixer or make the dough by hand, just make sure you don't over mix. Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least a half an hour.
• Roll out the dough and cut out little circles using a knife or a glass. Put the dough in to the tins, and make some holes in the dough with a fork. Put the tins in the refigerator of a frezzer to speed the proces. 
• Heat the oven to 180° C and when the dough is firm, bake the pies for about 20 minutes or until they have a nice yellow colour. When they are baked, let them cool and prepare the chocolate.
• Melt the chocolate over a pan of simmering water and then brush the pies with the melted chocolate and let them cool.
• Prepare the filling - from the instructions on the pack of the vanilla pudding, let it cool and then put it in the pies.
• Wash, drain and cut the fruit and place it over the filling. If you want you can brush some marmelade over the fruit to make it more appealing.
• Serve the pies as they are or refrigerate them and then serve them cool.
