Ice Box Pies

I love ice box pies and hope some of you will share your faves. I'll start with my strawberry, which I have posted in the past, but it is good enough to post again. I hope some of you will try it.

STRAWBERRY ICE BOX PIE

1 pre-baked 9” pie shell
1 10-oz. Pkg. frozen strawberry halves
24 regular-size marshmallows
1 C. heavy whipping cream + sweetener

Remove frozen berries from package and thaw in a strainer to reserve the juice. Set berries aside.

Heat juice in a saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add marshmallows and stir constantly until marshmallows are completely melted. *Set aside to cool or refrigerate briefly.

Whip cream until fairly stiff, adding sweetener to taste.

Stir the berries into the marshmallow mixture and then gently fold in the whipped cream. Pour into a pre-baked pie shell. Place in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours and serve cold.

*Marshmallow mixture must be completely cool (but not cold) or it will melt the whipped cream, and the pie filling will not have enough body.
