#14: Fresh Strawberry Pie
So strawberries are finally in season and...more importantly...on sale!
I figured the best was to celebrate strawberries was to make a fresh strawberry pie and to do that I went with a recipe from America's Test Kitchen.
However, I opted to use a graham cracker crust for two reasons -- 1) I wanted to add a little sweetness to the pie and 2) I wanted to add a little crunch with each bite. The graham cracker crust seemed like the best way to make this happen.
As for execution, this was a pretty fail-proof recipe. I even let me 4 year-old help...which is a HUGE sign. :o)
The results were awesome. Yes, this pie is hard to plate but the flavor is over the top and a dollop of whipped cream hides all flaws.
