Strawberry and lime pie

It has been several times that I have been asked if it is possible to make a large strawberry pie rather than the tarts that I proposed in this recipe, so here I made it big to celebrate the return of strawberries in fanfare!

C’est mon fruit préféré depuis que je suis toute petite. Fraises à la croque au sucre, soIt’s my favorite fruit since I was little. Strawberries with sugar croque, strawberry sorbet, strawberry jam, these beautiful red ladies have been with me throughout my childhood.

We hope you will like this large format version!
