Sweet and buttery Mini Pays de Fresa filled with homemade strawberry filling and topped with creamy LA LECHERA®. Perfect easy dessert recipe for parties and family treats.
For the Filling
2 cups fresh strawberries, disinfected and chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup water
For the Dough
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 stick cold butter, cut into small cubes (90 g)
5 tablespoons cold water
1 egg, lightly beaten
For Decoration
1 container of LA LECHERA condensed milk
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberry Filling
In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar.
Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the dissolved cornstarch and continue cooking for 20 more minutes until thickened.
Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Dough
Mix the flour and cold butter until the texture resembles coarse sand.
Add the cold water and knead until a smooth dough forms.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 cm thickness.
Cut 6 circles about 9.5 cm in diameter.
Use the remaining dough to cut strips about 1 cm wide for the lattice topping.
Step 3: Assemble the Mini Strawberry Pies
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease and flour a 6-cavity cupcake pan.
Place one dough circle into each cavity.
Add a spoonful of strawberry filling into each pie.
Arrange the dough strips on top to create a lattice pattern.
Brush the tops with beaten egg.
Step 4: Bake
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool slightly.
Decorate with LA LECHERA condensed milk before serving.
Use ripe fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
Chill the dough for 15 minutes before rolling if it becomes too soft.
You can substitute strawberries with mixed berries for a different variation.
Serve warm or chilled.
