Streusel, Strawberry, and Basil Coffee Pie

Ingredients:

Streusel

• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 cup premium flour
• 1/4 cup almond needles
• 0.5 tsp coarse salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and let cool slightly

Pie

• 220 g unsalted butter at room temperature
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup sour cream at room temperature
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp coarse salt
• 3 large eggs at room temperature
• 3.5 cups premium flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 tsp of soda
• 1.5 cups whole milk at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2.5 cups diced strawberries
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Preparation:

1. Streusel:
   
   In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, almonds, and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture forms evenly moistened crumbs. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
3. Pie:
   
   In a large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, salt, and eggs. Beat on medium speed until fully incorporated.
4. Add 1.5 cups flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Add milk and mix again. Add the remaining 2 cups flour and lemon zest and fold with a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle evenly with strawberries and basil.
5. Sprinkle streusel on top and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
