As many of you may know we are a camping family. We love camping with friends and family, enjoying the outdoors and slowing our pace a little. With working multiple jobs and both of us being Firefighter/EMS we sometimes crave that slower pace. We use our camping outings to try new things. Sometimes those new things are a new fishing location, new trail to explore and new recipe or a new drink. We decided during this camping weekend we would try a new “Pudgy Pie Recipe.”
Our family loves pudgy pies and I have always been responsible for making them. We’ve made traditional pudgy pies, pizza pudgy pies, and many others. This weekend I wanted to try something different, so this is what I came up with.
Ingredients:
Shortcake (I bought the pre-made from the store)
Strawberry Jelly/Jam (which works because we already had it for breakfast)
Fresh Strawberries (sliced)
Whipped Cream (spray can or tub)
Butter/Spray Butter
Utensils:
Pudgy Pie Cooker (we used a double so we could make two at a time)
Fire Grate or Backyard Fire Pit with Grate
I apply a large amount of spray butter to the pudgy pie maker. I will wipe off any excess so it doesn’t pool but using a large amount makes it easier to clean after cooking. Place the shortcake slice into the pudgy pie maker. Put a thin coat of strawberry jelly/jam on one slice of shortcake. Apply sliced fresh strawberries onto strawberry jelly/jam and cover with second slice of shortcake. We did not butter the shortcake slices that touched the pie maker.
Place pudgy pie maker over fire (cooking over flames will cook faster) or hot coals. If your fire has been burning for a while remember your pudgy pie will cook faster, check it more frequently. Continue to flip sides while cooking and check often. Once both sides are golden brown remove from fire.
Remove from pudgy pie maker and place more sliced strawberries as a topping and top with whipped cream. Enjoy your desert! We hope you get to try this out with your family and Happy Camping!!
