This CHEF revealed the secret to making the BEST PIES

We had an amazing visit to kiwilimón, featuring the incredible food blogger Vanessa Hernández, creator and author of Chokolat Pimienta. She gave us an excellent live class on a recipe that you may have tried several times, but with all her tips and secrets, it turned out exquisite. It’s about mini raspberry-filled pies. The advantage of this recipe is that you can make it YOURS, so dare to follow these simple steps to achieve it: Make pies with HOMEMADE dough. We know that puff pastry is sold in supermarkets and is delicious. But if you want to take your pies to the next level, it’s always better to prepare the dough from scratch to ensure that the flavor and texture are what you’re looking for.   If your pies will be fruit-based, fill them with HOMEMADE jam. The same goes for taking control of the sweetness and flavor of the filling if you prepare it yourself. Don’t be afraid to play with spices and daring combinations. Do various tests until you achieve the perfect filling.   CUSTOMIZE the pie topping. In this case, we did it with hearts for Valentine’s Day, but you can really cover it however you want. Remember that love comes from the eyes, so play with shapes and even letters to personalize your pie.   Want to make a healthier pie? Substitute the flour with oat flour and sweeten with agave honey or stevia instead of sugar, and they will also turn out delicious. Why not try filling them with chia jam? The possibilities are INFINITE.   ¡You don’t need a mixer! You can perfectly prepare the dough by hand, yes, you can feel how the dough is taking on the texture you’re looking for.
