Strawberry Lemon Pie

Okay people. I did not take a shit load of pictures because this pie is way too time consuming and difficult for you to make so you don't need the visual aids. I don't think you could even do it if you tried; I truly don't. In fact I only took one picture and it is of very shitty quality so fuck you. In any case this pie is freaking delicious; Too bad you can't make it. Let's begin:

Now I know this looks like a deranged alien clown face but it looks better in person. I swear. Start by making your filling. Whisk 2 eggs (cracked stupid), 1/2c sugar, and the juice from 1 lemon. Once you have completed this arduous task add 1/2 stick of butter and the grated rind of one lemon (grate it before you squeeze the juice out genius) and cook over medium heat until it thickens (6-8min). Put in a bowl, cover and fridge it for a couple hours. Time to make the crust. The recipe I used called for a cookie crust* which I did make but I found the dough fell apart really easily when trying to slide it in the pan. I would suggest using my regular crust as it is the bomb and easy to work with. Cut a bunch of slices in the bottom of the crust and fridge it for an hour. Take a beer break. Put the crust in a 400 deg oven for 20 minutes or so. Cool it completely. Make a strawberry reduction and cool it. Spoon the filling into the cooled pie shell and put the strawberries on top and brush them with the reduction. Chill for a few hours. See fucker? I told you there was no chance in hell you would ever make this shit. Eat it.

* For cookie crust make the same one as I do but use 3tbl sugar and instead of water use and egg yolk and 2tbl of heavy cream.

I made a strawberry cheesecake once and put the strawberries on before I put it in the oven... It was gross.

That is a very good example of how one would find a bizzare way to fuck up.

hippie! I do not recommend making things 'organic.' Doing so will void the warranty.
