Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Pastry cutter or two knives
  • Rolling Pin
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Wooden spoon
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 cups fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the chilled butter cubes and cut them into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two knives until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the ice water to the mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough starts to come together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges decoratively.
  • In a saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, water, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the filling to cool for a few minutes. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  • Arrange the fresh fruits on top of the filling, creating a visually pleasing pattern.
    Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.
  • Once baked, remove the Yippy Pie Yay from the oven and let it cool on a cooling rack. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
  • Slice and serve the Yippy Pie Yay, savoring each bite of its delightful combination of flavors and textures.
