Recipe Introduction


I have been making these forever. I sometimes don't bother with the strawberry puree and no one misses them. I usually hate desserts that use gelatin as a thickener, but for some reason it doesn't bother me here. You can use little pie crust tart shells or the little graham cracker crust ones - both are really good. Read the recipe - you have to make this the day ahead, but after it chills overnight it has another 4-5 hour chill time. Also, this has raw eggs in it. If you have a problem with them, this ain't the recipe for you!! Enjoy!

• 1 1/8 t. unflavored gelatin
