This no-bake strawberry spread with pie chips makes a delicious, easy Summer dessert.

strawberry spread

Delicious strawberry spread with pie chips is so easy to make and perfect for a summer dessert. 

The strawberry spread is full of flavor and  super versatile. Serve it warm or cold, as an appetizer, snack or treat.  Use it as a dip for tortilla chips or crackers, or as a spread for bread.

Taking inspiration from strawberry pie, I made a sweeter, more indulgent snack: pie chips from store-bought pie crust. Flaky, melt-in-your-mouth pie chips are so delicate, you need to spoon the spread on top.
