Croatian Blackberry Pie Recipe (pita od kupina)

Traditional Croatian cuisine is mainly based on fish and grilling techniques using different kinds of wood to give each fish a different flavor. Being on the Adriatic Sea, Croatia has incorporated many Mediterranean flavors, particularly the use of olive oil. Meanwhile, in the mountainous interior, the food is more Serbian/ Austrian or Hungarian related. Pork and lamb are more common, as are dairy products.

You may be wondering why is this Croatian Blackberry Pie so special?!! Right?

Blackberry Pie Recipe

This Croatian Blackberry Pie is hands down one of the best pies I’ve ever had! No joking…. It is my go to recipe when we have friends coming over and I want to surprise them. Absolutely crowd pleaser

The pastry is so buttery and flaky, the way it should be 🙂

The meringue-like filling is so light and fluffy with the delicious addition of fresh blackberries to balance the whole sweetness of the pie. 

Trust me, you are not going to find a better pie this summer! I cannot say how much of this beauty was left on the plate by the time I  have finished this post..I feel ashamed 🙂
