Strawberry Pie Wars, Part 2

Carolyn’s recipe is good–I just happen to love my strawberry pie. So we thought strawberry pies sounded like a good challenge for everyone!

Here’s my Super Easy Strawberry-Key-Lime Pie recipe:

2 cups sliced strawberries
1/3 cup key lime juice
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp. almond extract (can substitute vanilla)
1 shortbread crust
whippped cream (optional)

Puree 1/2 cup sliced strawberries in a food processor with the lime juice. Add the sweetened condensed milk to the pureed strawberries. Pour the mixture into a bowl with the sliced strawberries and the almond extract; mix. Pour into the prepared pie crust. Refrigerate for two hours before serving with whipped cream (optional).

Strawberry Pie Wars, Part 1

We had a baby shower here at the office yesterday for a member of our online team and his wife, and everyone brought a dessert to share. I brought one of my favorite summer desserts—Frozen Fluffy Strawberry Pie. As we were standing in line filling up our plates, June commented that she thought she had a better recipe for Strawberry Pie. Hmmm, this sounds like a challenge to me. We’ll let you be the judge! Here’s my recipe:

Frozen Fluffy Strawberry Pie

Combine the following 4 ingredients in a food processor:
3 oz. cream cheese
1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
3 Tbsp. lemon juice

Fold into mixture:
1 cup Cool Whip

Pour mixture into prepared graham cracker crust. Freeze 4 hours or until firm. Garnish with strawberries if desired.
