- All right, y'all.
0:01
- [Cameraman] What are you making?
0:02
- Huh? What am I making?
0:04
The other night, Michelle and her best friend,
0:08
those two families came for dinner and I thought,
0:11
now what kind of dessert?
0:14
And I started thinking about a strawberry pie.
0:17
Look, this knife wouldn't cut hot butter.
0:21
He's got go to the side until I can sharpen him.
0:24
But so I said "Strawberry pie, that's what I'll do."
0:29
So I am getting these ready to wash
0:34
and you wanna pick out as many ripe,
0:38
nice ripe strawberries that you can,
0:41
you know, I kinda like 'em
0:42
with none of that white part in them,
0:47
'cause that tells you they're not completely ripe.
0:52
Let me see if I can find some that's,
0:58
they're all got a little white in 'em
1:00
but they're beautiful strawberries,
1:02
and the flavor has been real, real good.
1:07
So you'll wanna just cut the stem off,
1:10
wash 'em and then pat 'em dry.
1:12
Lay 'em out on paper towels or something
1:15
because we don't want there to be a lot of water on them
1:20
so that our pie is,
1:23
we don't want it to be real gooey.
1:27
So I just wanted to tell y'all
1:31
about that part of this strawberry pie making.
1:34
So I recommended a way to hull out the strawberries
1:40
and the white part,
1:41
I just really tried to get in there,
1:44
and cut out that white part.
1:48
See, because that part is not quite ripe yet.
1:54
And I would have love for these to be
1:56
just a little bit riper,
2:00
but don't do no good for wishes.
2:08
'Cause this is-
2:08
- [Mike] what you making?
2:09
If you show how - Oh, I know.
2:11
- [Mike] Show how whole the strawberry.
2:13
- Yeah, well, I started telling them
2:17
when I was over there at the sink washing them,
2:21
Michelle and Eve and their two families,
2:24
our daughter Michelle, and Eve, her best friend,
2:27
they came over the other night for a crab ball.
2:31
And I thought, well, you know,
2:32
we gonna need a little dessert,
2:34
but what would be good?
2:37
Because all that seafood is so rich.
2:40
And we had a lot of different forms.
2:42
We had crab legs,
2:44
we had fresh whole blue crab,
2:47
we had shrimp, we had sausage.
2:49
So it was a rich meal.
2:52
So I said, you know,
2:53
"I think I'm gonna make a strawberry pie."
2:56
So I didn't have a recipe.
2:57
I just got in here and started doing.
3:00
And it turned out to be very, very, very good.
3:03
So I'm gonna show y'all what I did,
3:06
because this is one of those wonderful,
3:09
easy summer desserts.
3:12
And when the strawberry season is in,
3:17
they are so, so good.
3:19
So I've got a eight ounce package of cream cheese
3:25
that we've softened,
3:28
and I've got some light brown sugar,
3:34
and I'm going to do, all right,
3:35
that's one heaping tablespoon,
3:39
two heaping tablespoons.
3:42
So I'm gonna stir this together and see what we've got.
3:45
I may put more as needed,
3:52
but to me cream cheese needs some sugar,
3:56
some kind of sugar.
3:58
And of course you could use confectioner sugar,
4:00
or you could use white sugar.
4:02
I just like the idea of having a brown sugar flavor
4:08
in the pie that I was making.
4:11
(bowl clanking)
4:13
And it turns it that little bit of tan color, which I like,
4:22
(bowl clanking)
4:26
I think I'm going to do,
4:30
well, let me taste it and see.
4:39
So that would be three tablespoons of light brown sugar.
4:45
And I think that that will do it.
4:49
(bowl clanking)
4:50
Other day when I made it,
4:52
I didn't realize it until right now,
4:55
but I used a dark brown sugar.
5:00
But either one will work.
5:02
(bowl clanking)
5:04
All right, I'm going to put a little vanilla extract in it.
5:14
I mean, this pie is so easy to make y'all,
5:17
'cause pies can be tedious.
5:20
You can't hardly find anybody anymore
5:23
that makes a good homemade pie.
5:26
You know, every little town had a restaurant in it
5:31
that you could go get you a good slice of homemade pie.
5:36
But that's harder and harder and harder to find these days.
5:40
All right
5:44
So, that looks delicious.
5:48
And I'm gonna spread this on the bottom of my crust.
5:56
And you'll wanna pre-bake your crust
6:03
and allow it to cool
6:05
because you wouldn't wanna put your cream cheese
6:08
onto a hot, hot bottom.
6:12
It would melt it.
6:14
Now this is the part that it just made it even more better.
6:20
(bag crinkles)
6:22
I put a layer of nuts
6:25
and I'm using walnuts instead of pecans.
6:31
I don't know.
6:32
I'm a walnut lover.
6:33
I'm just a nut lover.
6:37
Just a nut lover.
6:39
Okay, now the strawberry pies
6:45
I don't ever remember my mother
6:47
or my grandmother's making a strawberry pie.
6:51
Don't remember anybody doing it.
6:53
And course aunt Peggy didn't make sweets hardly at all.
6:58
So the only one that I had in my head was Shoney's Big Boy.
7:05
When Shoney's Big Boy came to Albany, Georgia,
7:09
and you could go get that strawberry pie
7:13
which they were famous for.
7:15
And what was the other one?
7:17
It was like chocolate cake with ice cream in the middle.
7:21
And whipped cream and chocolate syrup.
7:23
I can't remember what that was called.
7:25
But honey,
7:26
oh, Benny was happy when Shoney's Big Boy came to town.
7:30
I don't even know if they're around anymore
7:33
but so in my head, that was what strawberry pie looked like.
7:38
So when you're eating it, you almost need a knife
7:46
because I like leaving them whole
7:51
but strawberries like this one, it's so big.
7:56
I'm just gonna slice that one in two.
7:59
So we just gonna pile these up
8:05
into our pie crust,
8:08
and on top of our cream cheese and nut layer,
8:14
we really need a few more strawberries.
8:17
I like it piled up high with the strawberries.
8:21
So what I was saying, y'all, it makes this pie so easy.
8:27
You can make a glaze, you can easily make a glaze.
8:32
But I didn't wanna have to go to that trouble
8:36
'cause like I said, I was making this on the fly.
8:41
I went to the produce department in the grocery store
8:45
where they carry this glaze.
8:47
But cheesecakes or strawberry pies,
8:52
I would say homemade
8:53
would be probably a little better.
8:57
But if you short of time and all you'd have to do
9:00
is make a syrup of sugar and water,
9:07
and you would make a slurry with coin starch,
9:09
and a little bit of water and red food coloring,
9:13
and just cook that until it's a nice thick syrup.
9:19
But look how easy this is.
9:22
And it's really pretty tasty,
9:26
especially when you got
9:28
your different layers of flavors in there.
9:33
And this is pretty and shiny,
9:36
just makes those strawberries just glisten.
9:41
So this just goes in the refrigerator,
9:47
and like I said,
9:48
I will sweeten my whipped cream.
9:51
I'll take probably a cup and 1/2 of heavy whipping cream
9:59
and add 1/3 of a cup of sugar to it,
10:04
and I'll beat it until it's nice,
10:06
and got nice peaks and I don't put it over the whole pie.
10:13
I like to dress each piece of pie with the whipped cream
10:19
right before I serve it
10:21
because I don't have to worry
10:22
about it breaking down or running everywhere.
10:28
Okay, y'all, it's been a couple of hours
10:31
(door creaks)
10:34
since I made the pie.
10:40
So we going to cut us a piece
10:44
and I'm going to use the same trick.
10:49
(bowl clanking)
10:51
So hopefully this'll,
10:52
I can get that first piece out looking pretty good.
10:57
You wanna go as deep down as you can
11:01
with your cut into the tin form,
11:03
(pan clanking)
11:07
and that'll help guarantee
11:08
that you get that bottom part of that crust out.
11:14
So I'm gonna cut a piece about this big.
11:19
So I'm gonna come over here and cut
11:22
(pan clanking)
11:23
where I want the size of slice
11:28
that I would like to have
11:29
that I would like to cut.
11:33
- [Director] You want me to grab that pan?
11:34
- Oh no, it's fine.
11:35
I'm using it to kind of prop things up.
11:41
(pan clanking)
11:45
I just wanna make sure I get it deep down in there.
11:48
Okay.
11:51
I think I said earlier,
11:54
when you have strawberry pie
11:58
you almost need
12:02
a knife and a fork
12:06
because the strawberries are whole
12:11
and it's hard to eat them.
12:18
Now if you're gonna serve this like right now
12:21
and you know it's all gonna get eaten,
12:24
I would probably go ahead and frost the whole thing
12:27
with the whipped cream.
12:28
But I don't like to do that
12:30
if I know it's just gonna get eaten
12:32
one piece at the time.
12:37
Maybe one little piece at the time.
12:43
Okay, here we go.
12:46
Come on now, work with me.
12:51
Cakes are just a lot easier to slice and serve
12:56
but look at that.
13:02
Look at that.
13:04
Mm, mm, mm.
13:08
(spoon clanking)
13:10
And this is what makes that pie go over the top.
13:15
(spoon clanking)
13:17
(dish screeching)
13:17
Get up there.
13:19
(Paula laughing)
13:20
Got to get me another fork.
13:24
(drawer clinking)
13:26
(silverware clanking)
13:27
Unless I'm planning on eating this like Lulu eats her food.
13:34
All right.
13:35
So you can see right here
13:37
we've got our layer of crust,
13:39
and we've got our layer of cream cheese,
13:43
and then we got our layer of strawberry and the glaze.
13:52
This is just a wonderful, uh oh,
13:54
that's a big old bite.
13:56
This is just wonderful for a summer dessert.
14:00
I'm gonna have to make this two bites y'all.
14:08
I just love it so much.
14:11
Mike, you want some strawberry pie?
14:14
- [Mike] No thanks.
14:17
- He don't eat nothing that I have in this kitchen.
14:21
If it doesn't have a McDonald's label on it does he, Eddie?
14:27
Mmm.
14:28
(hand banging)
14:36
It's delicious.
14:38
So you can make this any way to suit your own taste.
14:42
You can leave out the cream cheese,
14:44
you can leave out the nuts,
14:45
and just do the fresh strawberries,
14:47
and top it with a fresh whipped cream.
14:51
You can do it any way you want to.
14:55
This is just the way I like my strawberry pie personally.
15:00
