1 Serving Mock Strawberry Chocolate Pie Food

STRAWBERRY CREAM PIE WITH CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST

Steps:

• Make the crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Place cookies, sugar and salt in a food processor and process until finely ground. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add butter and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand.
• Transfer mixture to a standard 9-inch pie plate. Using the bottom of a flat-bottomed measuring cup, press the mixture up the sides and into the bottom of the pie plate. Bake on the middle rack until dry and set, 20 to 25 minutes. (If the crust slumps or puffs while it bakes, gently press it back into place while still warm with the measuring cup and proceed.) Let cool completely.
• Make the filling: Place 3 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over top and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream and vanilla until smooth. Combine cream, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in gelatin mixture until completely dissolved, then whisk cream mixture into sour cream. Pour filling into cooled crust and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. (If making ahead, wrap tightly once set).
• Toss strawberries with sugar, if needed, and let sit for 10 minutes. Pile strawberries and any accumulated juices on top of pie just before serving.

1 SERVING MOCK STRAWBERRY CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Dice strawberries.
• Add chocolate chips.
• Crush graham cracker over the top.

MINI STRAWBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to flatten slightly and lengthen to be about 10-by-12-inches. By hand, cut 5 strawberry shapes with a paring knife from each sheet. They should be about 3 1/2 inches at the widest (top portion), and about 3 inches long. Reserve the scrap pieces of dough off to the side.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheets. Poke holes in the center portion of the dough with a fork (don't dock the outer 1/2 inch all the way around).
• In a medium bowl, stir the sugar, cornstarch and nutmeg together to combine. Add the strawberries, and toss well until they are evenly coated.
• Arrange the strawberries in the center portion of the dough, overlapping to fit as many as you comfortably can while keeping them in an even, fairly flat layer. Leave the outer 1/2 inch of dough around the outside edge uncovered.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water to combine. Use the tip of a paring knife to cut pieces from the remaining scrap dough to emulate the tops of the strawberries. Don't worry if they're all different-so are real strawberries! Use a small amount of the egg wash to attach the stems to the top portion of each pastry, overlapping a portion of the strawberries.
• Brush the egg wash on all of the exposed crust and garnish generously with sparkling or sanding sugar.
• Bake until the strawberries are tender and the crust is deeply golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving.

CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Roll out the 2 pie crusts until they are thin and can cover a baking sheet aka jelly roll pan (10.5" x15.5").
• Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, perforate one pie crust (this is the top layer of the pie).
• Place sliced strawberries into a bowl.
• Add sugar, corn starch, lemon - mix gently.
• Pace other rolled-out pie crust on the baking sheet/jelly roll pan.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
• Spread strawberries on top.
• Unroll the perforated (heart-shaped cut-outs) top layer of pie crust on top of everything.
• Fold in the edges so the slab pie is sealed.
• Brush a thin coating of milk or heavy cream on the crust and top of the pie's surface.
• Bake 375F for 30-40mins.
• Slice and serve with sifted powdered sugar.

STRAWBERRY AND CHOCOLATE PIE (NO BAKE!!) (TASTE OF HOME)

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt 2 oz chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Spread or brush over the bottom and up the sides of the pie crust. Chill.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream,sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over chocolate layer; cover and chill for two hours.
• Arrange strawberries over the filling. For great presentation, cut off the tops and place the cut end down into the cream cheese mixture and have the little ends poking up. Go around the pie in a circle until it is filled in with strawberries. Brush the strawberries with the melted jam. Then melt the remaining chocolate and drizzle it over the strawberries.
