This Strawberry Cream Pie is topped with season-fresh strawberries and then garnished with drizzled chocolate.
This refreshing dessert contains three fan favorites–strawberries, whipped filling, and chocolate. You can either cut up the strawberries or leave them whole with the tips pointing upwards. This strawberry pie is then finished with a chocolate drizzle for the ending special touch.
This delicious pie was homemade for a golf tournament dinner’s dessert.
However, it would equally work for anytime you want a fresh show stopping summer dessert.
