STRAWN'S EAT SHOP'S STRAWBERRY ICEBOX PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the shortening and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Add the ice water, then continue to pulse until the mixture becomes a shaggy dough. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into an 11-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick), then fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim away any excess dough, crimp the edges and prick the bottom all over with a fork. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of the pie with foil or parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the bottom is just starting to set and the edges are just starting to brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue to bake until the crust is golden brown and cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the eggs with the granulated sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons milk until smooth, then whisk into the egg mixture. Warm the remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk and the melted butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until steaming, 2 minutes. Slowly whisk the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, then return the entire mixture to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the red food coloring.
• Spoon the glaze into the pie crust and spread over the bottom and up the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, 2 hours.
• Spread the berries in the glazed crust. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
• Make the topping: Beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Spread over the pie and top with the strawberry half.

GRILLED CITRUS ICEBOX PIE

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Grill the lemon, lime and orange cut-sides down until charred and soft, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly, then zest some of the fruit to get 1 tablespoon of zest; set aside. Juice all of the citrus (you should have 1/2 cup citrus juice).
• Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and the citrus juice. Stir until smooth, then pour into the prepared crust. Bake until the center of the pie is just set, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 1 hour, then refrigerate for another hour until chilled. Chill a large bowl.
• Put the heavy cream in the chilled bowl and add the confectioners' sugar and the grilled zest. Whip until soft peaks form. Top the cooled pie with the whipped cream and serve immediately or chill again briefly before serving.

FRUIT COCKTAIL PIE

Steps:

• 1. Drain fruit cocktail and jar of cherries with all their juices; set aside. (I remove two cherries to put one on top of each pie and cut the remaining cherries in half).
• 2. In a medium size mixing bowl, mix your can of Eagle Brand condensed milk and lemon juice stirring well. Pour your fruit cocktail and cherries into your mixture and stir gently.
• 3. Gently fold in approx. 13 oz. of the cool whip (the best way I can explain this to you is one entire container and about ¾ of the 2nd container).
• 4. Make sure you fold gently enough to mix well...if you stir too hard you will break down the cool whip, so be gentle!
• 5. Divide your mixture into the 2 graham cracker crusts. Place the two remaining cherries in the center of each pie (if you saved them).
• 6. Place lids on top, seal edges and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Can be made the night before. Enjoy!!!
