STRAWBERRY CREAM PIE TO DIE FOR



Strawberry Cream Pie To Die For image

I have been baking this pie since my daughters were very small. They are now 40 and 42. So as you can see, I have been making this pie for a long time. It is always the one they request when we have BBQs in the summertime. I even make it for them in the winter when and if I can find fresh strawberries. I think you will like it also. My grand-daughter said I should name it 'To Die For Strawberry Cream Pie.'

DEEP DISH STRAWBERRY PIE



Deep Dish Strawberry Pie image

A chocolate-painted baked pie crust prevents this pie from getting soggy and adds a wonderful flavor complementing the strawberries! Serve with whipped cream. I am adding blueberries just around the inner edge of the pie crust after the filling has been added to create a nice red, white, and blue theme for our 4th of July celebration!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries: The quality of your strawberries will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie. Look for berries that are deep red and have a sweet aroma.
  • Macerate the strawberries: Before adding the strawberries to the pie filling, macerate them with sugar and lemon juice. This will help to draw out their juices and make them even more flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the pie filling: The strawberry filling should be thick and bubbly, but it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, the strawberries will become mushy and the filling will be too runny.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will help the filling to set and the pie will be easier to slice.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The French cream topping is a classic, but you can also try other toppings like whipped cream, ice cream, or even a simple dusting of powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

Strawberry pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling, flaky crust, and creamy topping, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this real strawberry pie with French cream topping a try.
