Note: I actually wanted to brand this alongside a mix of greenish as well as yellowish kiwi but alas, yellowish kiwi proved elusive. It would accept been pretty!

My thoughts:
Oh, I honey icebox pies. I don't brand them nearly oftentimes enough. They involve no baking as well as so they are perfect for the hot steamy days that nosotros accept settled into. Since our menage is of an icebox era vintage as well as so has no air status (though of course of report nosotros don't depend on the H2O ice homo to aid us operate on our perishables cool) whatever form of baking during the summertime months is done at your ain peril.

Now, a lot of icebox pies (the well-nigh pop beingness key lime) are creamy as well as a few are frozen, but I accept decided I similar the ones that are basically just-held-together fruit the best. Now, kiwi is i of those fruits that reacts adversely to gelatin (it exactly won't theater up) but it behaves exactly fine when introduced to a cornstarch slurry. In fact, the resulting pie is as well as so sturdy as well as since it has to hold upward refrigerated overnight, i could fifty-fifty pack a piece for lunch. Or accept it for breakfast if as well as so inclined. Why relegate it exactly to dessert? It is 90% fruit afterward all! One kiwi has to a greater extent than than the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C. So that makes this pie practically wellness food, right?

So, operate on your oven off! Let your pies laid upward inwards the fridge. Icebox pies are overdue for a comeback.
