Smashed Strawberries over Crispy Sticks 1 Recipe Basic Pie Crust; see * Note
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 ts Cinnamon
2 pt Strawberries
8 Scoops Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Powdered sugar; in a shaker
Fresh mint sprigs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly flour a flat surface. Using a
rolling pin, roll out the dough about 1/8-inch thick. In a mixing bowl, mix
1/2 cup of the sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle the pastry with
cinnamon sugar. Using a sharp knife, cut the pie crust into 1/2-inch strips
or use various cookie cutters. Place the pastry on a parchment or wax
paper-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden and crispy, about 10 to 12
minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Stem and slice the strawberries.
Place the berries and remaining sugar in large bowl. Using a hand masher,
mash half of the berries. To serve, place 2 scoops of the ice cream into
each bowl. Arrange the pastry around the ice cream. Spoon the strawberries
over the ice cream. Garnish with powdered sugar and mint. This recipe
yields 4 servings.
