Strawberry season is nearly upon us here in Louisiana and a few weeks ago, I found this delicious looking recipe on Pinterest and decided to try it! I didn't realize at the time I pinned it that it was a Pioneer Woman's recipe. Here's how it turned out!
Love having my Baby Girl in the kitchen with me! Saturday afternoon, she helped with making this Strawberry Pretzel Pie by chopping up the pretzels in a ziplock bag. My soon-to-be thirteen year old has gotten camera shy and wouldn't let me get a pic of her helping, but she did a great job on the crust!
One of our local grocery stores had strawberries on sale and so I scored these beautiful strawberries, plus an additional package for a mere penny. Alise especially loves strawberries and one of the reasons I decided to try this recipe is for her. I have a tendency to lean toward chocolate desserts and so I thought I would try something different.
And here's the finished dessert! We all loved the sweet and salty taste and it was the perfect finish to a nice grilled supper by the pool Saturday evening. Instead of cutting the pie into slices, we just scooped it onto dessert plates. I decided not to use the whipped cream topping that the recipe called for, so I used Cool Whip instead.
You can find Ree's recipe HERE. It would make the perfect dessert for Easter!
And since my Weight Watcher's Lemonade Pie is getting some extra attention these days, I thought I would link that post here today, too! When I got this recipe from our WW leader about twenty years ago, it was two points! It's SO good!
Happy PI Day, Peeps!
We do not get Strawberry season til June up here. This looks delish but makes me a tad sad. This was the specialty of Tami, my dumped me as her BFF when I resigned friend. Yep and no worries she’ll read this as she is the one who said blogging is dumb. Boo. 15 good years gone but all say I’m better off but I’m still sad and mourning, especially tough when you have no idea why. But back to the pie.....YUM!!!! xo
ReplyDeleteOh my word - I could gobble that strawberry pretzel yummy ALL UP!
ReplyDeleteStrawberry pie is one of my favs!!! I’ve never thought about pretzels in the crust but that sounds amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteMmm, mmm, good! I like that you just scooped it out rather than slicing the pie. That would be the way we would do it over here. I know both this pie and your lemonade pie will be delicious. Pinning them both and planning to get back at the WW tracking tomorrow, now that I am home from Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy ! I love a pretzel crust :) We don't have strawberries here in Nebraska yet- it'll be awhile as we are still in the colder temps. Have a fabulous week.
ReplyDeleteI'm not big on strawberries but I just might like this because of the sweet/salty combination. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteOkay...now this is a pie I might be able to fall in love with. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique crust! I'm not a fan of cooked fruit (I know, I'm weird), but I love chocolate cream pie!
ReplyDeleteLaura, this looks delicious. I loved being in the kitchen with my daughter when she was growing up!
ReplyDeleteSuch a unique recipe! I love pretzels, especially with chocolate lol so maybe I’d even throw chocolate on too!
ReplyDeleteIs this a classic or what? I need to whip some up for my kiddos. And what is this WW Lemonade Pie? I better click on over to check that out. I wonder if it's low carb...
