Preparation
- Preheat an oven to 360 °F (conventional oven).
- For the pastry: knead the ingredients together to form a smooth pastry. Wrap in cling film and chill for approx. 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough and use to line the bottom and at least 3 cm high sides of a greased cake tin.
- For the filling: whisk the unchilled QimiQ Classic smooth. Add the egg yolks and sugar and whisk until fluffy with a mixer.
- Whisk the egg whites and sugar stiff. Mix the flour, corn starch and cinnamon together. Fold the egg white mixture alternately with the flour mixture into the QimiQ.
- Add the crumbs to the cherries and mix well. Spread onto the pastry base and cover with the filling.
- Bake in the hot oven for approx. 50 minutes (cover with tin foil to prevent burning if necessary).
- Dust with powdered sugar to serve.
