*If you don't want to use raw, uncooked egg for fear of salmonella, simply use pasturized eggs. They are a bit more expensive, but if you will be serving this dish to children, someone who is pregnant or who has an immune deficiency...it's worth it. If you are serving this to healthy adults just make sure that the eggs are fresh, wash the shells well and keep pie refrigerated.
Topping: 1 cup whipped cream 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 cups sliced and sweetened strawberries, drained
Whole strawberries, for garnish Mint leaves, for garnish
With an electric mixer, cream together butter and powdered sugar; add eggs. Beat ingredients until fluffy. Spread over crust. Chill.
Meanwhile, mix whipped cream with 1/4 cup sugar. Toss strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar. Spread half the whipped cream over pie, then add the strawberries. Top with remaining whipped cream. Chill for at least 8 hours. Garnish with whole berries and mint leaves.
