STRAWN'S EAT SHOP'S STRAWBERRY ICEBOX PIE



Strawn's Eat Shop's Strawberry Icebox Pie image

Since opening in 1944, Strawn's has received tons of attention for its signature icebox pie, and you probably won't get out of the place without trying one. Reminders are everywhere: Cream-topped, fruit-filled pies are painted on the walls and plastered on the front of the menu, and the staff shirts say #PIE. The recipe itself isn't complicated. In the 1920s and '30s, icebox pies were a practical choice for home cooks, who could prebake the shell and then keep the whipped filling cool in an icebox until it was time for dessert. Lemon versions are common in the South, but Strawn's made a name for itself with this fresh strawberry one.

Time 5h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup cold vegetable shortening
3 tablespoons ice water
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 drop red gel food coloring
2 cups sliced strawberries
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
2 cups cold heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 strawberry half, for topping

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.

FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE



Fresh Strawberry Pie image

This pie is a celebration of perfectly ripe, summertime strawberries. Only two cups of the berries are cooked down into a quick jam, which holds the rest of the fruit together for a delightfully fresh pie. With a crunchy shortbread crust and a cloud of freshly whipped cream, it's reminiscent of strawberry shortcake - but maybe even better.

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 2/3 ounces/300 grams shortbread cookies (two 5 1/3-ounce packages)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup/55 grams unsalted butter, melted
2 1/2 pounds/about 1 kilogram strawberries (about 8 to 10 cups), hulled
1/3 cup/65 grams granulated sugar
3 tablespoons strawberry preserves
1/4 cup/30 grams cornstarch
Pinch of kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup/240 milliliters cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, combine shortbread cookies, sugar, flour and salt and blend until you have fine crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a medium mixing bowl. Add butter and mix with a fork until crumbs are evenly moistened. Tip crumbs into a standard 9-inch pie plate and press them in an even layer on the bottom and up the sides of the plate. Bake until golden brown and set, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare filling: Cut each of the strawberries in quarters or eighths, if they are large. Transfer 2 cups berries to a small saucepan and crush completely with a potato masher. Set aside the remaining berries in a large bowl. Add the sugar, preserves, cornstarch, 1 tablespoon water and salt to the saucepan.
  • Bring strawberry mixture to a boil over medium heat and then cook it an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add strawberry mixture and lemon juice to the strawberries in the bowl and stir to combine. Transfer to the prepared crust and gently tap it down into an even layer. Transfer to the fridge to set for at least 4 hours.
  • Just before serving, whip cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla, if using, to soft peaks. Top pie with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh strawberries: This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your pie.
  • Macerate the strawberries in sugar: This will help to draw out their juices and make them even more flavorful.
  • Use a good quality pie crust: A homemade crust is ideal, but you can also use a store-bought crust if you're short on time.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: The filling should come up to the top of the crust, but it shouldn't be overflowing.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will ensure that the pie is cooked through.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing it: This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

Strawberry pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet, juicy filling and flaky crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. By following these tips, you can make the best strawberry pie that will impress your family and friends.
