Our House Favorite Strawberry Pie!
A text I got from my neighbor last week:
I asked my husband and kids to vote on several desserts that I’ve been making lately – “which one of these should be the July Family Dessert Night recipe?”
This strawberry pie was the unanimous winner.
Everyone in our house LOVES this pie.
It’s basically a bountiful platter of fresh strawberries, cold and juicy and sweet, held together inside a salty-sweet graham cracker pie crust, and dolloped with a cream cheese whipped cream. My mom and my grandma have been making this pie for years, so it’s my turn to get in on it!
I’m one of those people who thinks a homemade graham cracker crust is one of the best tasting things on the whole planet Earth (like, the BEST thing), so that’s what I use for mine! If you find yourself really wanting a regular pie crust – make it exactly the same, using a fully baked pie shell!
A noteworthy thing I love about this pie: it’s the PERFECT hands-on recipe for kids to help with. I set up an assembly line for my girls and put them to work on the berries, and then had them help me whisk and pour in the filling. A+ for kid participation on this one!
Happy summer-ing! Wishing you a really joyful moment of walking this cold, juicy, towering pie out to the table for your people. Best feeling ever!
