I envy those who have fresh strawberries to pick this time of year, there’s nothing better! Fortunately the store bought ones are pretty good too. Two weeks ago I was looking for a light fresh dessert. I found this one in an old Taste of Home magazine. I especially liked the coconut crust, it was light and best of all gluten free for my granddaughter! Think ahead as it does need to chill at least 4 hours to set up.
Bavarian Strawberry Pie 2 1/2 cups flaked coconut 1/3 cup butter, melted 1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced 3/4 cup sugar 1 envelope unflavored gelatin 1/2 cup cold water 2 tsp. lemon juice 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped In a small bowl, combine coconut and butter. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 300 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned, cool. In large bowl, combine strawberries and sugar; let stand for 15 minutes. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Cook and stir over medium heat until gelatin is dissolved; stir in lemon juice. Stir into strawberry mixture. Cool to room temperature. Fold in whipped cream. Pour into crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing. Yield: 6-8 servings. Stay cool and have a great week!

When I was still a kid, I was thinking that strawberry was sweet. Until I had a very first taste of it when I was 10, and I realized that it was not! I was wondering how did it become a top favorite fruit when it's not sweet in the first place? On the other hand, I want to send you loves and kisses for sharing us the secret behind Bavarian Strawberry Pie. By just hearing the name, we can already tell that it's a delicious dessert! I will try to bake this pie once I am ready!
