I made a pie!

| 1 ready-made graham cracker pie crust 1 pound fresh strawberries, cleaned and hulled 4 tablespoons of sugar 4 oz cream cheese 1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) vanilla flavor instant pudding mix 2 cups Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed, divided |
Directions
1. Put the strawberry and sugar in a food processor, pulse until chopped.
2. Ad the cream cheese and continue to blend.
3. Place strawberry mixture in a bowl and add the package of dry pudding to the mixture and stir until well mixed, about 3 minutes or so...
4. Add 2 cups of whip cream to mixture and fold in lightly.
5. Spoon mix into the pie crust and place in the fridge.
Leave it in there until ready to serve.
I'd say prepare this dish at the earliest 1 hour from serve time,
but it would be best served at about 2 hours or more later.
It's light, easy, and delicious!
*If you don't have a food processor, finely chopped the strawberries and combine the ingredients in a bowl, and begin on step 3 after all of the ingredients (minus the cool whip) are in the bowl.
I'm not much of a drinker,
but I did have a few sips of The Duke's beer today
in honor of the drink beer holiday.
Tomorrow is:
National Coffee Day
and I can't wait to have a cup of the good stuff!
Are you joining me?
I did not know today was pie day but I happened to have made a Pumpkin pie this evening. I will be joining you for that coffee for sure!
ReplyDeleteI don't drink beer, but my Hubs does every now and again. I will have to tell him it is National Drink A Beer Day. Maybe he will drink one for both of us.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious. I have had many kinds of pie in my day, but never a strawberry cream pie. Yum!
