Strawberry 7-UP Pie

This is one of those desserts that goes back to my childhood!  My mom made it for us and now my sisters and I have made it for years now.  It's very refreshing and the best part is the crust and it's oh so easy!  It's a buttery shortbread crust which happens to be the same crust we use for our Chocolate Pie!  You don't even have to  roll out the crust you just blop it in the pie pan then with your hands spread it out to the edges then poke holes using a fork!

Homemade whip cream tops this off nicely!  Recipe follows (whipping cream)!  You can use cool whip but you will never use cool whip after you make your own whipping cream.  It's easy peasy and taste so much better!

Truly this is one of those pies that you will make again and again!



For the Crust

Mix flour and powder sugar

Add melted butter and mix together

Dump into the pan

then spread out with your hands to the edges of the pie plate then poke holes in the crust with a fork (on sides and the bottom of the pie crust)
