Ingredients
- 2 slices White Bread
- 1/4 cup Strawberry Pie Filling
- 2 tbsp Whipped Cream Cheese
- 1/2 tsp Powdered Sugar
- Spreadable Butter
- Prepare Pie Iron: Spray the inside of both sides of a campfire pie iron with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the Pudgy Pie.
- Butter First Slice: Butter one side of a slice of white bread and place it buttered side down onto the pie iron, forming the base for your pie.
- Add Filling and Cream Cheese: Spread the 1/4 cup strawberry pie filling evenly over the bread slice inside the pie iron, then add dollops of whipped cream cheese on top for creamy richness.
- Top with Second Slice: Butter one side of the second slice of bread and place it buttered side up on top of the strawberry and cream cheese layer, completing your Pudgy Pie stack.
- Cook Over Coals: Close the pie iron securely and place it over hot campfire coals. Cook for 1 to 1.5 minutes on each side, totaling 2 to 3 minutes, until the bread is toasted golden and the filling is warm and melty.
- Serve and Garnish: Carefully open the pie iron, remove the Pudgy Pie, transfer it to a plate, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy immediately for a delicious, warm campfire dessert.
Notes
- Use spreadable butter to ensure even coverage and prevent sticking.
- Cook times may vary slightly depending on the heat of your coals; adjust as needed to avoid burning.
- For a different fruity twist, try substituting the strawberry pie filling with blueberry or cherry pie filling.
- If you don’t have a campfire pie iron, a stovetop sandwich press or panini maker can be used as an alternative.
- Allow the Pudgy Pie to cool slightly before eating to avoid burning your mouth on hot filling.
