This STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE PIE is the ultimate Summer sweet treat! Layers of strawberries, cream, and pound cake make for the most delicious (EASY) strawberry pie!
SUMMER IS HERE! Long days, cold drinks, time with friends, and strawberry desserts! My Mom has been making this Strawberry Shortcake Pie for years and I finally got the recipe so that I can share it with all of you! She came over and made it for me, and I loved it today as much as I always have. It’s one of my all-time favorite desserts and I just know your family will be as obsessed as we are. I love the cold layers of strawberry, pound cake, and cream…all in a pie crust and topped with whipped cream. Beyond delicious!
If there was ever Summer in a pie dish, this Strawberry Shortcake Pie is it. You’ll want to make it for BBQs, potlucks, get together, birthdays, you name it! It can be made year round, but I feel it’s just perfect for June-August. It screams Summer. If you’re ready to be the hit of the party, bring this pie!
I love to keep a slice of this heaven in my freezer and pull it out for a late night snack. Can you blame me? Just utterly delicious. The flavor combo is to die for. I know you’ll agree!
