Strawberry Rhubarb Pot Pies

Hi everyone, it’s Mary Ann from The Beach House Kitchen. I’m so excited to be sharing my recipe for these sweet and delicious Strawberry Rhubarb Pot Pies today on Oh, Sweet Basil. With rhubarb season in full swing and Mother’s Day just a few short weeks away, I thought these adorable AND easy pot pies would be perfect on the dessert menu for Mom on her special day!

Strawberry Rhubarb Pot Pies

Growing up, my mom was not big on sweets. She never ate cookies or cakes, but in season, strawberry rhubarb pie was something she could not resist. In fact, anything strawberry has always been high on her list of dessert favorites. My buttermilk strawberry sherbet and strawberry shortcake macarons are often requested and gladly supplied!

These Strawberry Rhurbarb Pot Pies are a spring classic. The sweetness of the strawberries paired with the tartness of the rhubarb makes for a winning combination. Plus, the color! Am I right?! I’m just smitten with that gorgeous pinkish-red color! Aren’t you?

Now, since we all need to spend the day spoiling Mom and not just cooking in the kitchen, I decided the easiest way to treat Mom to her favorite strawberry/rhubarb combo was to whip it up into a simple pot pie. You can opt to make my homemade pie crust recipe or use store-bought ready made pie crust. Whatever you fancy! Either way there’s no major pie crimping skills needed here guys! Just fill your small ramekins with your fruit mixture, then roll out your pastry dough and cut out smalls circles to place on the top of each ramekin. Next, vent the top with a slit or a cute little cutout like I did, brush with some egg wash and pop it in the oven to bake!

This dessert is perfectly seasonal and couldn’t be easier! Enjoy friends!
