Strawberry pie
Description
I bake the shortcrust pastry base for the pie separately, then fill the pie with the filling and put it in the refrigerator for a while. Strawberry pie is a delicious and simple dessert for a celebration or family dinner. Decorate it with whipped cream or meringue cream, or serve with ice cream. Enjoy this delicious pastry warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
