Thirty years ago, my family and I enjoyed the pa dutch meals at this great restaurant.
They served a few fruit and custard pies topped with whipped cream....delish!!!!!
I know they made strawberry in gelatin too and it was fabulous.
It was served over a custard base.
Could you please find the recipe?
They closed years ago.
Thank you!
Hello Judy,
Since you did not give me the name and location of the PA Dutch restaurant at which you had the pie and the recipe has a common name like "strawberry custard pie," then I have no hope of identifying and finding that particular recipe. All I can do is send you any strawberry custard pie recipe that I find with Google such as the one on this site:
Amish Strawberry Pie
or the ones below.
