This Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie is a favorite around here. I'm not a huge pie baker, but I wanted something special, and this was created.

Ingredients

Pie Crust:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoons salt
  • ½ cup shortening
  • 3 Tablespoons ice water

Filling:

  • 21 ounces Strawberry Pie Filling
  • Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers
  • egg wash
  • sugar granules

Instructions

Pie Crust:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the cold shortening until you get what looks like course crumbs.
  • Drizzle 2-3 Tablespoons of ice water over the flour. Toss the mixture with a fork to moisten, adding more water, a few drops at a time until the dough all comes together.
  • Gently pat the dough crumbs into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove from refrigerator.
  • Divide dough so you have some left for the lattice. Set aside the lattice dough.
  • Roll out dough on your baking mat and place gently into a pie dish.
  • Now you're ready to fill.

Filling:

  • Gently spoon the strawberry pie filling into your pie crust.
  • In a double boiler, melt 1 cup of Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers according to package directions.
  • Once completely melted, drizzle across the strawberry pie filling.
  • Roll out your lattice dough, and cut into strips.
  • Lay your strips over the pie in a lattice pattern.
  • Brush the top of the strips with the egg wash just before putting in oven. Sprinkle with sugar granules.
  • Put the pie dish on a baking pan, and bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden and strawberry is bubbly.
  • Remove and cool before serving.
  • Once cool, melt more Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers to drizzle over the top.

Optional:

  • Place chocolate dipped strawberries on the top for presentation.
