Pie with Champagne, Strawberries and Streusel Recipe
"Strawberry with champagne" sounds luxurious, and in combination with" almond streusel " even pretentious. The combination is really luxurious: the wine gives the dough a refined, slightly fruity flavor that goes so well with strawberries and almonds. I suggest a variant of pectin filling (it is preferable to use a heat-reversible one). But if you do not have pectin, you can thicken the berry puree with starch or just use sliced fresh berries for the filling.
