Strawberry Mini Pies #SummerSundae

by 85 Comments

 

I love to bake. Probably a little TOO much (there are pros and cons to knowing how to make delicious desserts, if you know what I mean).

When Cake Boss Baking asked if I would be willing to come up with an ice cream-inspired recipe for July’s #SummerSundae theme to be featured on CakeBossBaking.com, I eagerly accepted the challenge. While I was compensated for my time, all thoughts and opinions – as well as the recipe – are my own.

I perused the Cake Boss Baking bakeware selection to see what might inspire me to bake something that would make an ideal summer dessert and found it right here. This mini pie pan made me think of a fresh strawberry pie that is in my old family cookbook. It is one of my favorite pie recipes ever, and I knew it would be perfect made into individual pies as well as topped with ice cream. Strawberries are in season this time of year, too. How could I resist?

I love that this recipe uses rather simple ingredients (and not too many of them):

Fresh Strawberry Mini Pies a la Mode

Crust:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
4-5 tablespoons cold water

Filling:
1 pound strawberries divided
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water

And of course…vanilla ice cream!

Check out my full recipe and instructions on CakeBossBaking.com (I’m still so excited to see it there!).

  26. There are so many things I want! I would love to have the flour sifter, as I don’t currently have one. Or the 7 piece mixing and prep bowl set. Both are top of my want list now

  30. I would love to have the 4-Piece Mini Springform Pan Set, Gray, they are so much easier to use than conventional round cake pans.

  32. I like the 12-Cup Flower Molded Cookie Pan. What I REALLY want is the “My Kitchen My Rules” crock that I see in several pictures of the spatulas, but I don’t see it for sale on the site.

  37. I want all of his products!! :) But I really want to get those cookie scoops because I need a good one that won’t break like the one I just threw away! :)

  41. I would love to have the 9×13-Inch Covered Cake Pan, Gray with Red Silicone Grips. A good 9×13″ pan is an essential, and having a cover would be so handy–no more frosting being ruined by a foil or plastic-wrap covering.

  42. Mine is in horrible shape and I would really love to have a new Flour Sifter with Red Silicone Grips, might even help me make more wonderful cakes.

  45. I can definitely use the 12-Cup Star Molded Cookie Pan. I make a lot of cookies and having it star shaped would bring a little life into these treats.

  48. I would pick the Metal Cake pan, it brings back some great memories of my grandmothers banana cake with caramel icing!

  59. I would love the Cake Boss Flour Sifter with Red Silicone Grips. The one I use is the same one my mom used when I was a child and while it is nice aesthetically speaking I would love to have a new one to use

  60. well there was certainly a lot of great bakeware to choose from, but I think I would like to try the 6-Cup Mini Fluted Mold Pan, Gray to make some cute little gluten free cakes.

  74. They have lots of great stuff on their site :) One thing I’d love to have is the 2-Piece Silicone Baking Mat Set, Red :) I’ve been meaning to get some silicone baking mats, but haven’t done it yet :)
