How to serve fruit charlotte

Fruit charlotte can be served hot or cold. But from personal experience, I can say it's much more delicious warm.

It's best to slice the pie when it's completely cool. This way, the dough will set well and won't crumble, and the filling will thicken and prevent runny edges. You'll get neat, even slices with beautiful cuts.

Before serving, heat each piece in the microwave if serving in portions, or place the whole charlotte in the oven for a few minutes.

A beautiful and delicious way to serve fruit charlotte with a scoop of ice cream or sorbet—perfect for summer! In winter, you can replace the cold dessert with custard or jam.

Adviсe

Choose firm, not juicy fruits to prevent the pie from turning out soggy.
If the fruit is too hard, lightly bake it in the microwave or simmer it in a frying pan in its own juice.
Before placing the fruit on the pie, roll it in sugar – it will caramelize beautifully during baking.
