strawberry-daiquiri-200x150.jpgSome pies are best with milk. Some are made for coffee. This pie is meant for the company of a silver tea service, a white porch, and a charming cousin who, like the strawberry chiffon, will disappear at just the right moment.

The Crust

Graham Cracker Pie Crust  for a single crust pie

The Filling

  1. 3 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
  2. 1 tsp lime zest
  3. ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  4. 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  5. 3 tbs rum
  6. 2 tbs Cointreau
  7. 1 ½ cups whipping cream
  8. sliced strawberries for garnish

In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries, lime zest, lime juice, condensed milk, rum, and Cointreau until smooth

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on high speed, until stiff peaks form

Transfer the strawberry mixture to a large bowl and gently fold in the whipped cream, half a cup at a time, until well combined

Pour the filling into the crust, smoothing the top

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for 3 hours

Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving
