CREME FRAICHE FILLING

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces creme fraiche
1 cup confectioners' sugar
pate, sucree (2 recipes)
1 pint blueberries
1 pint raspberries

CREME FRAICHE FILLING: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and vanilla until soft.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk creme fraiche with a balloon whisk until it holds soft peaks.

Trim the dough by running your rolling pin over the dough against the edges. Gently shape the edges by pressing the length of your forefinger against each flute along the sides.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
