Day 23 - Frozen Fluffy Strawberry Pie

 

Frozen Fluffy Strawberry Pie – Sue Pruliere
 
2 ½ c lightly toasted coconut
1/3 c margarine
3oz softened cream cheese
14oz condensed milk
2  ½ c fresh or frozen strawberries, mashed or pureed to 1 ½ c
3T lemon juice
1 c whipping cream
 
In large saucepan, melt margarine; stir in toasted peanut. Mix well. Press into bottom and up sides of 9” pie plate. Chill. In large bowl, beat cheese until fluffy; beat in milk; stir in strawberries & lemon. Whip cream and fold in. Pour into crust (should mound slightly). Freeze 4 hours or until firm. Before serving, if desired, garnish with fresh berries.

Note : Nice and cold...brrrr. I think we should have taken this out for a bit before serving. A little hard...frozen like! Yummy though. The coconut crust was interesting, I think I'd pass on it next time, and substitute it with graham crust.
