Then, the idea of a strawberry pie hit me which was immediately followed by the “ugh, I’m gluten free and can’t have pie crust” thought.
My sister told me about the new Mi-Del Gluten Free Pie Crusts and I ran to Reasors to pick one up. There are two choices; ginger snap or chocolate snap, I have no idea what the “snap” is supposed to be but the crust is great.
I promise, this pie will be a huge hit with the fam and no one will know that it is gluten free. The recipe below will actually make two pies, one for you and one for the party… or both for you. 🙂
Ingredients:
2 Cups Water
2 Cups Turbinado Sugar
(2) 3oz. pkg Strawberry Jell-o
4 lbs Strawberries (or 3 quarts-I bought them for $8 at Sam’s Club)
(2) Mi-Del Chocolate Snap Gluten Free Crust
1 Cup Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips
Directions:
Wash, dry and slice strawberries, lay aside. Bring water, sugar and Jell-o to a boil. Keep stirring until the mixture turns more glaze like and is very thick. Remove from heat and stir in the strawberries.
Pour the strawberries into the pie shells and refrigerate about 30 minutes to let the pie cool. Then, melt the Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and place in an icing bag or a ziploc bag with the tip cut off and begin to cover the pie in chocolate. You can make designs or cover it any way you’d like. Honestly, the chocolate on top combined with the chocolate crust makes this dessert my absolute favorite.
