Ingredients

  • 3 cups vanilla frozen yogurt, softened until easily spoonable
  • 3/4 cup best-quality strawberry preserves (preferably whole berries)
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • About 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, halved and/or quartered (leave small ones whole)

Method

  • Press cold pastry over bottom and up sides of a 9-in. tart pan with a removable rim and trim edges even with top of pan. Chill 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°.
  • Bake pastry on bottom rack of oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Stir frozen yogurt until smooth, then stir in preserves. Spoon into tart pan, set on a plate, and freeze at least 5 hours.
  • Simmer balsamic vinegar, sugar, and 1 tbsp. water in a small saucepan over medium heat (do not let boil) until it coats a spoon, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Top pie with strawberries. Thin syrup with water if necessary and drizzle onto each wedge of pie.
  • Let the pie soften for 5 minutes at room temp to make slicing easier.
  • If you're having trouble freeing your pie from its pan, set it over a bowl of hot water for a couple of minutes and then slide a thin knife between the pan edge and the crust. It should pop right out.
  • Make ahead: Once the pie is fully frozen through step 3, it keeps for up to 4 days, double-wrapped in plastic wrap. Make the syrup and top the pie just before serving.
