FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE WITH SPECIAL SHORTBREAD CRUST



Fresh Strawberry Pie with Special Shortbread Crust image

Most fresh strawberry pies call for a regular pie pastry or a graham cracker crust. This crust is similar to shortbread and complements the fresh strawberries wonderfully!

MILE HIGH STRAWBERRY PIE!



Mile High Strawberry Pie! image

What a presentation! The fresh flavors and beautiful berries in this pie are sure to impress.

Provided by Colleen Sowa

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

PIE CRUST
1 pie crust shell, baked (9 - 12 inch pie pan)
FILLING
1 1/2 c water
1 1/2 c sugar
4 Tbsp corn starch
1 small box strawberry jello
2 1/2 qt strawberries, fresh (or more!!! for taller pie!!)
OPTIONAL INGREDIENT
whip cream for topping or cool whip
GARNISH
whole or sliced strawberries

Steps:

  • 1. Bake your favorite pie shell and set aside to be filled later.
  • 2. Mix together with a whisk: Water sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add the strawberry Jell-O and whisk and stir until well blended and jello is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool (don't let it get set, just cooled).
  • 3. Wash the strawberries, pat dry, remove the hulls. Cut strawberris in half (or leave whole!!). Gently fold the strawberries into the Jell-O mixture.
  • 4. Pile the strawberries up in the baked pie shell (it will look like a hill). Refrigerate at least an hour.
  • 5. *** Serve as is, or with a spoonfull of whip cream or cool whip and a strawberry on top. *** Cover the entire hill of strawberries with whipped cream or cool whip. Place some strawberries on top to garnish.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using.
  • To make the pecan crumb crust, use cold butter. This will help to keep the crust from becoming too greasy.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the pie. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • When making the strawberry filling, be sure to stir the strawberries with the sugar and cornstarch until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will help to prevent the filling from becoming lumpy.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

This mile-high strawberry pie with pecan crumb crust is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart strawberries are perfectly complemented by the crunchy pecan crumb crust. This pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
