Our favorite strawberry tart in the house!
A text I received from my neighbor last week:
I asked my husband and kids to vote on several desserts I made recently: “Which one should be the recipe for July Family Dessert Night?” »
This strawberry tart was the unanimous winner.
Everyone in our house LOVES this pie.
It’s basically a hearty platter of fresh, cold, juicy, sweet strawberries held together in a sweet-salty graham cracker pie crust and topped with cream cheese whipped cream. My mom and grandma have been making this pie for years, so it’s my turn to help!
I’m one of those people who thinks a homemade graham cracker crust is one of the tastiest things on all of planet Earth (like, the BEST thing), so that’s what I use for mine! If you really want a regular pie crust, make it exactly the same way, using a fully baked pie crust!
One notable thing I love about this pie: it’s the PERFECT hands-on recipe for kids. I set up an assembly line for my daughters and had them work on the berries, then had them help me whip and pour the topping. A+ for the children’s participation on this one!
Happy summer! I wish you a truly joyful time as you take this cold, juicy, towering pie to the table for your people. Best feeling ever!
