Description
This pie, a la mille-feuille, can be made with any seasonal berries by adjusting the number of layers or fillings. Strawberries and raspberries are a great option for this recipe. If you find that you cannot whip the cream, add a little lemon juice or a bit more powdered sugar; you can also add cornstarch, but remember: the higher the fat content of the cream, the easier it will be to whip.
