She came up with a dessert recipe that doesn’t require too much time cooking over the stove. Plus, fresh fruit pies are a real treat in these warmer months, and her Fresh Strawberry Pie with Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream is cool and refreshing.
It is made with seasonal strawberries cooked down in a sugar/honey mixture and fresh lemon. This recipe uses a ready-made piecrust that is baked off in the oven. The whole dessert takes just a few minutes to assemble and can be prepared a day ahead.
