BEST STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE RECIPEOld-Fashioned Fruit Dessert Recipes Scrumptious Dessert Recipes Moist Cake Recipes Perfect Whipped Cream Recipe The precise combination in the Best Strawberry Rhubarb Pie recipe is amazing. Tart and sweet, it's delightful. I've also included my strawberry rhubarb crisp recipe that is a delight with homemade vanilla ice cream.
3 cups rhubarb, chopped 3 cups strawberries, sliced 1-1/3 cups white sugar 1/4 cup cornstarch 1 TBS lemon juice 1/4 tsp cinnamon, ground Pastry for a homemade double pie crust 1 beaten egg, for glaze PREHEAT oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl combine the rhubarb, strawberries, white sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and cinnamon. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the pastry and place in a pie plate. Spoon in the fruit filling. Now, roll out the dough for the top crust. Using a knife or pastry wheel cut dough into 1 inch strips. Brush the rim of the crust already in the pie plate with the beaten egg and gently weave the strips over the pie. Trim and flute the edge. Now brush the lattice with the egg, and bake the pie on a cookie sheet to catch any juice that drips. Serve with my awesome homemade whipped cream. STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRISP In another bowl, mix together the remaining 1 cup of flour with the brown sugar, oats and nutmeg. Add the butter and blend. Sprinkle this over the fruit and lightly pat it down; bake for 35-40 minutes. Serve with homemade whipped cream. NOTE: You may use a 9x13 pan, but the filling will be thinner. It's a thicker crisp in the 8x12 pan. |

FEATURED RECIPE:
SECRET #1
There are many way to prepare these strawberries, but I am going to give you my easy methods. When you are melting the chocolate over a double boiler, don't let the water touch the bottom of your upper pan. Heat until only 1/2 of the chocolate is melted, then remove from heat and stir gently until it is all melted.
The chocolate should actually be cool or tepid to the touch. If it's hot, chances are it will seize up and thicken. If it does that, no amount of heating or stirring will fix it.
If you don't have a double-boiler, use a saucepan - bring the water to a boil, and then use a stainless steel bowl to rest in the saucepan to melt the chocolate.
SECRET #2
Strawberries are grown with many pesticides, so rinse the strawberries first with a veggie wash, and let them drain on paper towels until they were thoroughly dry so the chocolate would adhere properly. Any moisture would have interfered with the chocolate adhering.
SECRET #3
Spike the strawberries! Fill a syringe with a sweet white dessert wine, and slowly inject the wine into the strawberries from near the stem (after you've done the dipping in chocolate.) You want to inject enough wine to saturate the berries, but watch not to add too much otherwise they end up becoming runny. These are always a hit when I bring them to dinner parties.
SECRET #4
Pierce the strawberries on the stem side with a toothpick. Holding the strawberry by the toothpick, dip into the chocolate mixture. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert the toothpick into Styrofoam for the chocolate to cool.

CRUST:
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
1-1/2 TBS white sugar
shaved chocolate bar
CHEESECAKE:
3 (8oz) pkgs cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups white sugar
4 eggs, beaten
3 TBS cocoa, unsweetened
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk*
1 TBS pure vanilla extract
1 tsp white vinegar
2 (1oz) bottles of red food coloring
TOPPING:
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
shaved chocolate bar, for garnish
Directions
PREHEAT oven to 325 degrees. The cake is baked with a water bath to prevent cracking. Wrap a large pan with foil (big enough for the spring form pan to fit in).
Mix the graham crackers and sugar together and add the melted butter. Mix with a fork and press into a 9 inch spring form pan. Sprinkle the bottom of the crust with chocolate shavings from a candy bar.
Beat 3 packages of cream cheese with 1-1/2 cups white sugar until fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into the prepared spring form pan and place in the center of the foil covered pan. Fill with water.
Bake for 10 minutes and lower oven temperature to 300 degrees and bake for 70-80 minutes. The cheesecake is done when the center is firm. Cool completely on a wire rack.
TOPPING:
Beat the cream cheese with the butter until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over the top of the cooled cheesecake. Garnish with the shaved chocolate bar.
*Buttermilk:
Place 1-1/2 tsp vinegar or lemon juice in 1/2 measuring cup and fill remainder with milk. Wait 15 minutes, stir, and it's ready for this recipe.
