How to Make No-Bake Summer Fruit Pie with Citrus Glaze

1. In a medium bowl, combine softened butter or margarine, 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar, and the egg yolk. Gradually blend in the flour until the mixture forms a crumbly dough. Press firmly and evenly into a greased 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate to form the crust.

2. Bake the crust at 400°F (200°C) for about 8 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar and cornstarch. Slowly stir in the orange juice, whisking until the mixture is smooth. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until it begins to bubble and thicken. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Allow the glaze to cool fully.

4. Gently fold your fresh fruit into the cooled glaze mixture. Once evenly coated, pour the fruit filling into the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the pie to set.

There’s something magical about a dessert that lets the fruit shine. This citrus-glazed fruit pie does exactly that—celebrating nature’s candy in a way that’s easy to make and hard to resist. Whether you’re hosting a backyard bash or just want something light and fruity after dinner, this pie is sure to hit the spot. Keep it chilled and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. Bon appétit! 🍓🥭🥧
