Frozen Strawberry Smoothie Pie

Today I am pleased to introduce you to my lovely friend Kathie.  She is a woman of many talents and is currently conducting a summer e-course that is so much fun.  The name is fabulous as well.  She calls it “Fiercely D.I.Y.” *affiliate link* and it contains “12 Projects for a Courageous Home.”  (Don’t you just sometimes wish you had thought of a cool name first?  Darn you Kathie and your creativity!!)

Let’s make her feel welcome on the homestead.  She has been nice enough to share this mouthwatering recipe with us today just in time to kick off our summer celebrations!

Summer is a time of picnics and gatherings, of late night bonfires and stargazing.  A season of outdoor parties and food.  It’s also a hot season in which most of us don’t want to heat up the kitchen any more than necessary.  It’s the season of salads, iced tea, and cool desserts.  Make the most of summer’s berries with this frozen smoothie pie, that whips up in no time, doesn’t heat up the kitchen, and is supremely satisfying on a hot July evening.

Recipe type: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

• Chocolate Oat Crust:
• ⅓ Cup Cocoa Powder
• 1½ Cup Oats
• ⅔ Cup Almond Meal
• ¼ teaspoon Salt
• ½ Cup Sugar
• ½ Cup Coconut Oil, melted or Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Almond Extract
• Strawberry Smoothie Filling:
• 4 Cups Strawberries, Fresh or Frozen
• 1 – 1 & ½ Cups Milk (Dairy or Non Will Work)
• ½ teaspoon Almond Extract, Optional

Instructions

1. Make the crust:
2. In a mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients. Pour in the coconut oil and almond extract. Mix until everything is moistened. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9"pie plate and place in the freezer.
3. Make the Smoothie:
4. In a blender combine the strawberries and 1 Cup milk. Puree, adding more liquid if necessary. If using frozen strawberries, it might need more liquid than if using fresh. Pour this over the oat layer.
5. Cover the pan and freeze for 30 minutes. Remove from the freezer and slice the pie into wedges. The pie will be mostly frozen but still easily sliced at this point.
6. Place back in the freezer until serving time. Serve with fresh berries or whipped cream if desired.
