Sweet strawberries enveloped by billowy whipped cream create a dreamy pie that is a cinch to make. If you want to impress a special someone for Valentines Day with a fabulous home cooked meal, top it off with this sinfully sweet treat. Of if you're just looking for a new pie flavor to shake things up for Sunday night dinner, this one is delightfully easy.
There's only three simple steps to create this pie~ stirring, folding and freezing. Frozen strawberries are stirred together with sweetened condensed milk, a jar of strawberry preserves, and a touch of lemon juice to blend the flavors.
Then you fold in an entire container of thawed whipped topping. Remember, folding is not stirring~ use a spatula and scoop along the sides of the bowl, gently and repeatedly folding over the top center of the whipped cream so it doesn't deflate.
When there's no more streaks of red or white, spoon it into store bought graham cracker crusts and freeze it to firm up. Just before you're ready to serve it, pull it out of the freezer and let it soften for about 10 minutes. I like to top it off with additional whipped cream, strawberries or chocolate curls for a garnish. I hope you truly enjoy this recipe!

I grabbed jam instead of preserves on accident? Will my results be compromised?
ReplyDeletePlease and thank you!
Lillian,
ReplyDeleteI think the jam will be fine! You won't get the little 'chunks' of strawberry in the pie but it should still taste great :0) Good luck!
Do you HAVE TO add the lemon juice?
ReplyDeleteIt's not crucial you can skip it, the lemon juice balances out the sweetness of the sweetened condensed milk. Try it without and add a new comment to let me know how it goes :0)
