Simple "Strawberry Milk" Icebox Pie | the pig & quill

Do you see what’s happening here? Cereal. Milk. Strawberries. All frozen together in happy oblivion. It’s childhood in a Springform pan. And it’s piyank. For Vaylentymes Diyay. Suuuurr spurshurr. It also requires very little hands-on time and more, uh, hanging-out-and-doing-nothing-in-the-freezer time, which I am totally cool with.

Wink.

Thanks for letting me Share the Love, friends! Big heart-shaped hugs all around — and good luck!

By Emily Stoffel
Cook time: 20 mins hands-on plus chilling | Serves 8

Notes: Clearly, I really dig the cereal element of this pie, because I really dig eating strawberries in my cereal and then drinking the lusciously pinkified milk afterwards. If that’s not your cup of tea (bowl of milk?), a standard graham cracker crust would also be a good option here. But c’mon. Give it a shot.

Ingredients:

  •  5 cups Cheerios cereal (or similar; we used a multigrain variety)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 stick melted butter (plus extra for greasing the pan)
  • 2 cups strawberries, washed, hulled and quartered, plus extra for serving
  • 1 can (14 oz) condensed milk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • whipped cream and strawberries (for serving)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Butter bottom and sides of a Springform pan.

Pulse Cheerios in food processor until sandy in texture. Add brown sugar and butter and pulse to combine. Spread crumbs evenly across the bottom of pan, using a drinking glass to press into an even crust.

Bake crust for 10-15 mins until golden-brown and toasty smelling. Let cool completely. (Alternatively, purchase a pre-made pie crust. Look at you go!)

While crust is baking, rinse food processor. Add two cups strawberries and process until smooth. Transfer strawberry puree to a medium size bowl and chill while you complete filling and crust cools.

In a small saucepan, whisk together condensed milk and egg yolks until steaming but not simmering, stirring frequently. Do not boil. Fold condensed milk mixture into strawberry puree and return to fridge to cool completely. Handily, your crust is probably cooling down at the same time.

(Watch an episode of something.)

Pour cooled filling onto cooled crust in Springform pan and FREEZE 4 hours over overnight, until filling is completely set. (It will be tacky to the touch but very firm.)

Immediately prior to serving, release frozen pie from pan, using a pastry cutter or spatula to carefully lift off base. Cut  pie into slices with a sharp knife and serve with strawberries and whipped cream all fancy like. Enjoy!

    1. Ugggggggghhhhh Momofuuuuuku. There’s a reason why it sounds like a cow mooing in ecstasy. (Not sure that was ever the intent, but let’s go with it.) So glad you were able to join us!

  2. What would you say if I took those words away…Then you couldn’t make things new,
    just by saying I love you! Yeah, that’s happening. Serenade.
    Also, I’m impressed by your dessert. Look at you, fancy pants! #winning <3 Happy Val Day, Piggy-Pig! I heart you.

  3. Oh Emily, I love everything about this sweet slice of nostalgia in pie form. I’m reminded of watching cartoons in my pjs on a saturday, sipping on sweet strawberry flavored cereal milk with not a care in the world. Thank you for taking me back to that place. I needed that. I hope I get to work with you again in the near future – this was super fun!

  4. Okay I just tried to leave you a message and I have no idea where it went or what happened to it, but either way, just wanted to let you know that I think you’re pretty rad lady. Thanks for joining this group of extra fab women bloggers!

    XO SHERRIE
