Strawberry Cream Pie #SundaySupper
This post is sponsored by the Florida Strawberry Growers Association in conjunction with a social media campaign through Sunday Supper LLC. All opinions are my own. Strawberry Cream Pie Strawberries are in season right now and are the perfect taste of summer in the winter! I look forward to strawberry season every winter since moving to Florida a few years ago. I start to see our fresh grown Florida strawberries around the middle of December and the season runs until April. It’s easy to add flavor and nutrition to your favorite dishes with Fresh from Florida Strawberries. Today our Sunday Supper family is going to share some of our favorite sweet to savory strawberry recipes with you. I’ve been to the strawberry farm every week now since it opened. Today I’m sharing my go to Strawberry Cream Pie recipe that I have made for years. It is so simple to make. I took a trip out to our local strawberry farm yesterday just to get the strawberries. They serve the best strawberry ice cream sundae’s and strawberry shortcakes, it is hard to leave without having a taste. Oh and the fresh strawberry milkshakes are hard to turn down too! I love sitting out at the picnic tables enjoying the view of the strawberry fields. Did you know that just 8 medium strawberries equal your daily requirement of vitamin C and less than 50 calories? Strawberry Sue has 10 great reasons that you should be eating strawberries. There are a couple of tips if you want to take some shortcuts when making this pie. You can use a store bought pie crust if you want but there should be enough filling to fill 2 of the store bought crusts. You can also substitute whipped topping for the whipped cream in the recipe. I’ve done this a couple of times and I use about half of the carton of whipped topping. This pie is also good frozen! Take it out of the freezer at least 15 minutes ahead of serving.
