I hadn't planned to make individual strawberries and cream pies for this week, but instead I planned on an asparagus puff pastry tart with ricotta cheese and a honey balsamic drizzle. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately for you, I completely messed up. The puff pastry burnt, the asparagus was under-cooked, and that drizzle may very well have been the worst cooking related idea I ever had! It was all I could taste. So, at the last minute (almost) I had to come up with something different, and it needed to be ingredients I already had.
I had strawberries and heavy cream in the fridge, and mini graham cracker pie crusts in my cabinet that.....I really don't even know why I had them. Individual Fresh Strawberries and Cream Pies! So easy to make, just brush the pie crusts with egg whites and bake for a few minutes, slice up some fresh strawberries, whip the cream until stiff, and prepare. The whole thing took me less than 30 minutes even with an interruption.
