Get ready to indulge in a delicious slice of heaven on National Strawberry Cream Pie Day, celebrated on September 28! This delectable dessert has been around since the early 1900s and is loved by many for its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and beautiful presentation. Did you know that strawberries are not actually berries? They are considered "accessory fruits" because their seeds are on the outside. But that doesn't stop them from being a popular ingredient in desserts like this iconic pie. So go ahead and treat yourself to a slice (or two) of this heavenly creation – after all, it's a national holiday!
