Patriotic Pie

PATRIOTIC PIE WITH MIXED BERRIES AND DRAGONFRUIT

Memorial Day is coming quick, and we’re already almost to summer time. Prepare to see the fruit pies and red, white and blue!

I used a pre-made pie crust from Heinens, which makes it so much easier! I also thawed out 2 crusts, and cut out star shapes with a cookie cutter from one of the pie crusts to cover the berries.

Topping your freshly warmed pie with strawberry ice cream can’t hurt either!

I don’t normally rush to make berry pies, but I wanted to also try to use dragonfruit, which is amazing to use as well! It also fits with the white part of red, white and blue!
