Strawberry Crunch Pie Recipe
My nanny (grandmother) always made this when I was growing up. It is super easy and everyone loves it!!
Ingredients:
1 cup plain flour
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 pint strawberries, sliced and drained (can use frozen but thaw)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 can sweetened condensed milk (like Eagle Brand)
1- 8 oz container of Cool Whip (I use the "extra creamy" version)
Crust:
Combine butter, flour, and nuts. Press into bottom and up sides of a pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool completely.
Filling:
Combine lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk. Add strawberries, mixing gently. Fold in Cool Whip. Pour into cooled pie shell. Refrigerate until firm, usually 4 hours.
This is a great summer dessert.

This recipe is fabulous and sounds very similar to one I used to make and forgot about. If it is the same one, bananas work wonderfully too~

Mmm, this sounds delicious and so easy!

Ooooh I can't wait! This sounds surreal and delicious.
you had me at strawberry crunch. as soon as it's warm here, i am making this to celebrate summer!!
I'm a hard act to follow because when I'm done, I take the microphone with me.
I will post my banana split cake recipe this weekend. It is a Nanny recipe too and was a Fourth of July staple.
Could you use whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
^ I've been doing that, but I go half and half whipped cream and cream cheese because I was worried about the stability of the cream alone. I also started making the crust out of ground almonds with just a touch of Splenda and a little melted butter - like a graham cracker crust but high-protein/low-ish carb. You don't need to use even a smidge of flour! You can definitely use the pecans in the original recipe, it's just that I found them quite expensive.

There's a similar recipe on the Cool Whip site. This one uses crushed Oreos for the crust. Strawberry Whipped Sensation
