Ingredients for the sandy base:

• 3/4 cup (100 g) 82% butter, chilled
• 1 3/4 cups (230 g) all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup (70 g) sugar
• 1 egg yolk

Ingredients for cherry filling:

• 10 oz (280 g) pitted cherries
• 1/3 cup (65g) sugar
• 1 tablespoon (15 g) cornstarch

Ingredients for the yogurt soufflé:

• 7 oz (200 g) Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon (15 g) cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons (25g) caster sugar
• 1 egg white

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cherry filling:
   • Mix cornstarch and sugar. In a saucepan, heat the cherries until they release their juice. Stir in the sugar and cornstarch mixture, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until thickened. Cool completely.
2. Prepare the crust:
   • Mix the flour and sugar, then stir in the cold butter until the mixture resembles large crumbs. Stir in egg yolk until well combined. Reserve a third of this mixture for the garnish. Press the remaining dough into an 8-inch pie dish, forming a base and sides about 1 inch high. Cool in the refrigerator.
3. Prepare the Yogurt Soufflé:
   • Mix the yogurt with the cornstarch. In another bowl, whisk the egg white with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the yogurt mixture.

4. Assemble the pie:
   • Remove the chilled crust from the refrigerator. Spread the cherry filling evenly over the crust. Carefully spread the yogurt mixture on top and sprinkle with the reserved crust mixture.
5. Cook:
   • Bake in a preheated 356°F (180°C) oven for approximately 40 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.
