Strawberry Fudge Pie

This pie is so rich and fudgy with a subtle taste of strawberries.

3/4 cup melted butter
1  1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup puréed strawberries (5-6 fresh or frozen berries)
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs

Your favourite short crust pastry for a 9" pie

Start by whirling the strawberries in a blender until puréed.
Whisk into the melted butter, sugar and flour.

Add the remaining ingredients and pour into a 9" pie shell.

Bake at 350 F for 45-55 minutes or until the middle hardly jiggles anymore.  


Cool before cutting. We served it with neopolitan ice cream (although the chocolate ice cream doesn't show in any of the pictures) Whipped cream would be great too!
