In my family, we love pies. When I was little, at dessert time, my grandmother always received us with her famous cherry pie, her sugar pie and, in season, her strawberry and rhubarb pie. Each time, everyone wanted a piece of every flavor. They were so good...

Today, I still love pies, but I strive to make them as healthy as they taste. Is it really necessary to always add refined sugar? I do not believe. Why not sweeten them differently? What if we cooked them without refined sugar, but managed to remove the acidity of the fruit with a natural sugar rich in fiber such as date puree? Do you doubt? Do you think it will taste like dates? I assure you not. The taste will be light and fine and will highlight the other fruits used.

Lately, even though it's strawberry and rhubarb season, my boyfriend arrived home with a bag of frozen strawberries and rhubarb fruit, telling me that I was the queen of healthy desserts and that it would be really great if, by chance, I felt like concocting something for him. As I love to cook, I gave birth to this brand new summer creation. A succulent scarlet pie that is easy to make and can be cooked without a rolling pin. Can you resist the temptation to cook it?

Bon regalski!

(By the way, I cook it gluten-free. For a vegan option, opt for agar-agar instead of gelatin.)
