‘Waitress’ Chocolate Strawberry Oasis Pie Recipe

“It could solve all the problems of the world, that pie… it’s a thing of beauty — how each flavor opens itself one by one, like a chapter in a book. First the flavor of an exotic spice hits you, just the hint of it. And then you’re flooded with chocolate, dark and bittersweet, like an old love affair. And finally strawberry, the way strawberry was always supposed to taste but never knew how.”

Jenna never failed to surprise with a different pie for every occasion! This strawberry oasis pie is an intimate and super rich blend of fresh strawberries and velvety dark chocolate. Let’s just shut up and get baking!
