If Jay Gatsby Were a Dessert - Strawberry Daiquiri Pie
Some 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
- 3 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 tsp lime zest
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tbs rum

- 1 ½ cups whipping cream
- 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
Garnish top with sliced strawberries
