Summertime. Nothing says summertime to me like a cold drink and some fruity desserts. One of my all time favorite desserts for summertime is Strawberry Pie. In case you don’t already know this about me, I LOVE pie. I can’t say it enough. I love pie.
I really need the bumper sticker, t-shirt, mug, all of it. So everyone around me would know just how much I love pie.
Strawberry Pie is no exception. I really love Strawberry Pie too. When things grow in the garden you find ways to use the things that grow. Strawberries are no different. When you plant one plant it can multiply. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law planted something like 25 plants one year late spring and it turned into hundreds of new baby plants the next year. We had so many strawberry plants.
This year Mrs. Terry and I dug up those plants and were giving them away. I hope all my friends that got strawberries from us reaped the rewards of those sweet little gems. They can make a ton of fruit. They are sweet, delicious, and packed full of fiber, vitamins and good for you antioxidants. Yippee! My kind of dessert.
One thing to do with that fruit is make pie.
Obviously.
This pie is super easy. It only takes one crust and aside from baking the crust you don’t have to bake this pie, so no heating up the house too much in the hot summertime. If you need directions on how to blind bake a pie crust you can find them here.
After you chill this delicious pie you can serve with fresh whipped cream and you are all set. I hope you’ll make your own whipped cream, but I won’t judge you if you don’t. If you make it tag me on instagram @springcreekplace with a picture and let me know how it turned out.
