Bavarian Strawberry Pie
2-1/2 cups flaked coconut
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
3/4 cup sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
.
In a small bowl, combine coconut and butter. Press onto the bottom and up
the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 300° for 30-35 minutes or
until lightly browned (cover edges loosely with foil to prevent overbrowning
if necessary). Cool on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, combine strawberries and sugar; let stand for 15 minutes.
In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1
minute. Cook and stir over medium heat until gelatin is dissolved; stir in
lemon juice. Stir into strawberry mixture. Cool to room temperature. Fold in
whipped cream. Pour into crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before
slicing.
Yield: 6-8 servings.
