Strawberry ice cream pie tips

You can either use puff pastry or short sheets from the shop as they are usually perfect. Use a muffin tin for small pies and a large dish if you want a big pie. There is of course no baking needed for the pie, but you will have to par-bake the pie crust. Make sure you weigh the pie crust down with something like rice while baking. Decorate with fresh strawberries and some icing sugar. However, add some meringue on top and give it a quick bake for a great upgrade.

Enjoy something different this weekend with our strawberry ice cream pie. It’s sweet with a flaky crust and topped with fresh strawberries.
