Shortcrust, marzipan filling and vanilla custard cream
Start making your shortcrust by adding flour, sugar and cubes of cold butter in a bowl.
Crumble it with your fingers until there are no lumbs of butter left. Add a few tablespoons of water (start with 3) and quickly assemble the dough - don't knead, it just needs to be shaped into a ball.
Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for 30 minutes while preparing the marzipan filling and vanilla custard.
Whip the marzipan, sugar and butter for the marzipan filling together in a bowl. Add the pea drink and whip until fluffy. Whip in the flour and set aside.
Make the vanilla custard cream by halving the vanilla pod and scrabing out the seeds. Mash it with a tablespoon of the sugar.
Put the vanilla sugar, the remaining sugar, pea drink and cornstarch in a small pod and whip together.
Bring the mixture to a boil under constant whipping and let in boil until it becomes a thick custard - it takes a few minutes.
Place the custard in a bowl and put it in the fridge, covered, to cool completely.
Bake and assemble
Butter a pie tin and turn the oven on 175 degrees celcius fan.
Roll out the cold shortcrust dough between to pieces of baking sheets to a thickness of 3-4 mm.
Place it in the buttered pie tin and make sure to press into all sides and edges. Cut off excess dough and stick a few tiny holes with a fork on the bottom and the sides.
Distribute the marzipan filling evenly in the pie on top of the crust and bake it for about 18-20 minutes until nicely golden on top.
Let the pie cool completely. Then melt the chocolate in a water bath and smear it on top of the cold pie. Let the chocolate set completely.
Whip the cold, stiff vanilla custard until airy and soft. Whip the cream into a firm whipped cream and mix it gently in the custard a little at a time.
Smear the custard on top of the set dark chocolate and decorate with halved strawberries.
