Strawberry picking season is the best time to make this strawberries and cream pie, loaded with fresh sweet strawberries, a creamy filling, and a crumble topping.

In my family, when it comes to desserts the majority think fruit before chocolate. I definitely follow that trend unless peanut butter is also involved with chocolate, as anyone who knows me is aware. So when I was put in charge of the menu while visiting family in Boston, I put my typical peanut butter-brain aside and started digging through my bookmarked fruit dessert recipes.
This of course lead to deciding between far too many options, and as usual no one came to the rescue with any preferences, so I was left to my own devices when it came to the decision making process. The winner was decided due to its combination of fruit and cream – strawberries and cream pie to be exact. There’s really no way to refute that.

Fresh strawberries are piled into a pie crust and then a creamy mixture is poured over them. Unlike fresh strawberry pie, this strawberries and cream pie is baked and ends up resembling a cobbler in pie form with its wonderful crumble topping. ONly thing left to decide is whether to top it off with homemade whipped cream or ice cream.
It’s too bad there were eight people at dinner to claim every last slice of this pie, because I could’ve totally gone for seconds and maybe thirds. My step-father even made a joke that he could really go for a second slice after finishing. Guess I should’ve known with my family that there is never such a thing as too much dessert!
