🔪 Instructions
Prepare the pie crust
- Rinse the strawberries and carefully pat dry on paper towels. Select 8 uniformly sized strawberries for garnish. Slice remaining strawberries in half and set aside.
- Melt 2 cups of the white chocolate chips per package instructions. Dip the 8 strawberries in melted white chocolate and place on a foil lined plate. Refrigerate to set chocolate.

To make the filling

- In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and quickly mix 1 cup hot pudding into the egg yolks to temper. Whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the pudding mixture and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, or until thickened.
- Remove the pudding from heat and stir in vanilla extract and butter. Stir until incorporated.

📖 Variations

💭 Tips
- Wash and pat dry the strawberries with a paper towel before using. Any water on the strawberries will prevent the white chocolate from sticking.
- Add the sliced strawberries to the top of the white chocolate in the pie shell while the chocolate is still wet (not hardened).
- Be sure to buy a good quality white chocolate chip and follow the instructions on the bag for melting.
