Welcome to my blog party!
Look I have a new blog all about desserts and it's already party time!I love to have fun and I love desserts, so please join me at Joy of Desserts. I am French and have lots of great recipes, so Just add me to your feed reader and you won't miss a single delicious dessert recipe.
I've already shared Sprinkles Bakery's Strawberry Cupcakes that everyone is lining up all the way down the street in Beverly Hills to pay $3.25 for each one. Even Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey rave about Sprinkles Cupcakes and they will soon open more bakeries all around the country, so be sure to grab their ONLY RECIPE EVER PUBLISHED!
And just for this party, I want to share
a French dessert (oui, oui) with you. The picture shows it in a heart shape and that's very appropriate because I love every single one of you and hope you'll come back to JOY OF DESSERTS often. You can make it for a wedding anniversary, or you can use the puff pastry sheets right out of the box and make it square. A circle would also be very easy and you can use the left over corners for decoration. My bloggy friend, Melanie over at Monday Through Sunday gave me this recipe to make for Valentine's Day, and boy was it good! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! So be sure to jot down that recipe.

one of my all-time favorites!!
STRAWBERRY CREAM PIE
4 Egg yolk
1/4 Cup Sugar
A Pinch of salt
1 Tablespoon of natural flavoring
such as vanilla, lemon, rum, or
Grand Marnier
1 Pre-baked pie or tart shell
1 Basket of strawberries
Gently beat the yolks, add sugar and salt. Slowly bring to almost a boil while stirring. DO NOT BOIL or it will curdle. Add flavoring and let cool.
While you are waiting for the custard to cool, wash and cut your strawberries in halves. Gently stir in a few teaspoons of sugar to macerate (marinate for fruits). When cool, add the custard to your favorite pre-baked pastry shell. Line the macerated strawberries all around on top of the custard, covering it completely. Pour all sugar syrup over the top. Voila! Simple as Strawberry Pie!
