Black Beauty Pie

Ingredients:
Black Beauty Template (download)
Large Taco Shells
Pre-made 8" Pie Shells (2 pack)
Canned Cherry Pie Filling (1 can)
Frozen Berry Mix (blueberries and strawberries)
Wax Paper
Kitchen Shears or very clean Scissor

Prepare and bake the first pie shell according to the directions on the package and cool on a wire rack when ready. When completely cooled, pour the cherry filling into the shell. Add frozen berries to fill up the rest of the shell. Stir the mixture together gently, so as not to break the shell’s edges.

Download and print the horse template. Place one large taco shell in between two pieces of wax paper. Now place the horse artwork on top of the top sheet of wax paper. Very carefully hold the taco shell, wax paper and horse artwork together (you can even use a large paper clip to secure everything) and carefully cut just around the outside of the drawing of the horse.

Take pieces of the other uncooked pie shell and use small pieces to create the bridal and facial detail on the horse.

Place the horse’s head on top of the fruit filling. With leftover pieces of pie shell pastry, shape leaves around the edge of the pie for a fancy edging.

Bake for 45 minutes at 325° till crust is lightly browned and fruit is set.
