White Chocolate Strawberry Pie

This pie is so delicious! Makes me think of spring and summer, strawberry season and sunshine. A couple of things that I love about this pie; the use of white chocolate and fresh orange juice. Adds just a little citrus taste. I like to spritz a little extra of the orange juice on top of the strawberries, just to get a little more of the flavour(personal choice). The white chocolate, strawberry and orange combination is just amazing! Added bonus is that although it has a fancy look to, it with the drizzled white chocolate on top, it really is not hard to make!
