We are
baking, or shall we say, mixing the easiest spring pie! Sweet & seasonal strawberries top a light
and creamy pie filling that’s drizzled with a little chocolate on top.
This
recipe comes together in minutes and is super easy to prepare. It’s also super adaptable. We love this in a prepared Oreo pie crust,
but a graham cracker crust or traditional pie crust is equally yummy. If you don’t have strawberries, feel free to
substitute them with raspberries or blueberries (or even doubling the chocolate
topping for a different twist!).
