Memorial Day is quickly approaching which means a couple of things-invitations to bbqs and the start of farmers markets. I’m so ready to see fresh, locally grown produce like strawberries. The kids and I made this delicious strawberry lime pie which will be a perfect way to use those local strawberries.
We started with a graham cracker crust. My daughter broke up graham crackers and put them in the food processor to make crumbs. To the crumbs we added coconut oil and then my son helped press the crumbs into a pie dish. We baked the shell for 10 minutes.
Next we pureed a cup of strawberries using the bottom part of our Cuisinart smart stick.
Making the filling was really quick and easy. We whipped some heavy cream, added sugar and then the strawberry puree and lime zest.
We poured that into our graham cracker shell and decorated with sliced strawberries.
Freeze that for a couple hours to make it set. When you are ready to eat, let it sit out for about 30 minutes to let it soften a bit. This is an impressive looking dessert that is fun for kids to help with and perfect for those summer parties!
