not heavy something bright and fresh but still feels like a treat that gives you that ah yes moment in the first bite <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well that is where these Mini Strawberry Pie Recipe\u00a0 come in they are little bites of summer that fit in the palm of your hand and they are the kind of thing you make once and then keep coming back to whenever you want to feel like you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have your life together even if you are in sweatpants and your hair is doing its own wild thing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I first stumbled on this idea when I had a pile of strawberries that were almost too ripe to just eat plain and I figured why not throw them in a crust and see what happens I was not in the mood for a big pie that takes half the day <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I went for mini ones something you can hold and eat without needing a knife just you a fork maybe and the quiet joy of knowing you made something lovely in under an hour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The magic here is in the balance you get the buttery flake from the crust that shatters just a bit when you bite in and then you hit the sweet juicy filling that tastes like sunshine <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caught in a spoon the strawberries cook down just enough to release their juice but they keep that little pop of texture so it is not mush the touch of lemon juice in the mix <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brightens everything and the vanilla sneaks in like a secret whisper making the berries taste even more like themselves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are wondering what you need for these it is simple just the basics you probably have right now<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bf0cfba3616e7dc40596e0fb1dab123c\"

Recipe\u00a0 is the easiest bit <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">you can go simple and serve them as they are cold from the fridge and bright with flavor or you can dress them up with whipped cream piled high or a scoop of vanilla ice cream that melts slowly into the warm sweetness <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you warm them up just a bit you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top or add fresh strawberry slices for that extra pop they look good on little dessert plates or lined up on a tray <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are sharing at a party though honestly I have eaten one standing at the counter straight from the pan and it still felt fancy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-161e0557f3136852f5206ee37823dac1\" id=\"3-leftovers-\"><strong>Leftovers <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do happen though not often and when they do just pop them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for two to three days <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crust will soften a little but the taste will still be on point <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to keep them longer wrap each one tightly and tuck them in the freezer for up to two months <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then thaw in the fridge before serving or give them a quick warm up in the oven<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cf4422931285f3819f3131d29cf17329\" id=\"4-a-few-small-tips-make-a-big-difference-here-\">A few small tips make a big difference here <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the freshest sweetest strawberries you can find since they carry the whole flavor do not overcook the filling or it will lose its brightness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are worried about soggy crusts you can prebake the shells for a few minutes before filling let them chill for at least an hour for that clean slice and solid texture  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to play around with flavor try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a bit of orange zest to the filling for a twist that makes people ask what is in there without you giving away the whole secret<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These pies work for almost any moment they are sweet enough for dessert but light enough to enjoy in the afternoon with tea <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They travel well for picnics <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They make a nice change from cake at a birthday and they have that built in portion control that tricks you into thinking one is enough though we both know it is not <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are also one of those recipes that make you look like you put in more work than you did which is always a win<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes I like to make a batch just for the freezer <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I have them ready for when friends drop by or when I want something good without starting from scratch <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can even swap the strawberries for other berries when they are in season<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blueberries raspberries or a mix of whatever is fresh all work just as well though strawberries will always have my heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if you have a spare hour and a handful of strawberries <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give these mini pies a try they might just become your go to treat for when you want something beautiful and delicious without turning the whole kitchen upside down <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the buttery crust to the jewel like filling they are pure joy in a small package <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the kind of thing you will be glad you learned to make because they make every day feel a little bit more like a celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"review-box\" role=\"note\" aria-label=\"Leave a review\">\n  <span class=\"star\">\u2605<\/span>\n  <strong>Before You Begin!<\/strong>\n
