- Add the cold palm shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the whisked egg and pulse again, then gradually add cold water until a dough forms.
- Dust a surface with arrowroot flour, roll out the dough, and transfer it to a pie pan, fluting the edges.
- Prick the crust and bake it for 5 minutes with pie weights, then remove the weights and bake for another 2 minutes.
- Let the crust cool completely before preparing the filling.
- Mix the sugar, tapioca flour, and salt in a bowl, then combine with the strawberries and blueberries separately.
- Layer the blueberries and strawberries in the cooled crust, using foil to create a divider for the fruit.
- Roll out the remaining dough to create strips for the top and cut out stars for decoration.
- Brush the crust with an egg wash and bake the pie for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
