You Want Pies With That? Strawberry Basil Tart

Did you know that tday, March 14, is Official Pie Day? Well, Pi Day, anyway, and us Tarts from the Pie Group “You Want Pies With That” are all posting our creations today in honor of it!

This time around our theme was chosen by Elizabeth of Cake or Death, and she chose “Herbs & Spices.” For my entry I chose to pair a Chocolate Tart crust with fresh strawberries, lemon juice, simple syrup and Lemon Basil. I topped it with a bit of sweetened whipped cream.

I won’t worry about supplying a recipe here, as I have more exciting Pie News!

The great people over at Emile Henry have been kind enough to supply a Pie Dish to one lucky DoughMessTic Reader! Valued at $45.00, this is one great prize! What better way to commemorate Pie Day than with a fantastic Pie Dish…these are such high quality you’ll by itching to get every item in their inventory.

I was lucky enough to win one myself in theKitchn’s Pie Bakeoff last year, and have used it repeatedy! The craftsmanship? Top notch. Imagine a perfectly baked pie every time! (and if you are like me and can still mess one up, well, at least it will LOOK great in this Pie Dish!) I am more than impressed with the Emile Henry line up…there are so many things I want!

Now, what do you have to do to win a Pie Dish of your very own, in the color of your choice?
