Dessert Recipe: Strawberry Mousse Pie

It may feel like it’s been winter for a very long time, why not pretend it’s spring in your kitchen with this strawberry mousse pie!

Ingredients:

2 Tenderflake® Deep Dish Pie Shells

1 bag (600 g) frozen sliced strawberries, divided

Strawberries, divided

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup each cold and boiling water

2 pkg (7 g each) unflavoured gelatin

1/2 cup 10% Greek-style yogourt

1 cup 35% whipping cream

Directions:

1. Arrange strawberries on a paper towel-lined tray to thaw. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake pie shells according to package directions; cool completely.

2. Pour 1 cup strawberries with sugar and vanilla in a food processor fitted with a metal blade; set aside. Chop 1 cup of the remaining strawberries; set aside.

3. Pour cold water in a bowl and sprinkle gelatin overtop; let stand for 1 minute or until softened. Pour boiling water overtop; stir for 1 to 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. Slowly pour gelatin mixture into strawberry mixture, whisking constantly, until smooth. Whisk in yogourt until well combined. Let stand for 5 minutes.

4. Beat whipping cream until very stiff; stir one-third into strawberry mixture. Fold in remaining whipped cream until almost streak-free. Fold in chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.

5. Divide strawberry mixture evenly between baked pie shells; smooth tops. Garnish with remaining strawberries. Chill for at least 2 hours or until firm. Makes 2 pies (16 servings).

Tips:

Pies can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated.
