A tip for elevating your strawberry pies: Add a mashed banana or two to the filling. You won't really taste the banana itself, but it does something magical to the strawberries. There is a weird synergy that you wouldn't expect, tempering some of the acidity of the berries, and it tastes amazing.
"Weird synergy you wouldn't expect," Me, looking back on all the strawberry banana smooties I've had in the past because they sell them at McDonald's o .O
@@blehh_mae when you first see the message, it’s basically telling you that the strawberries are just an achievement. They don’t unlock anything and aren’t needed for progression. All they can do for you is impress your friends in real life when you show them how many you got. When you get to the end of the game, you learn that the berries *also* impress your friends *in-game*. They’re impressed by the strawberry pie Madeline makes from them. Moreso tbr more berries you got.
What I love about Alvin's videos is that he always includes & recognizes all the team members that make his videos possible, even ones that aren't part of the BCU that he takes inspiration from. He truly highlights the importance of collaboration & community ❤
The most hilariously named dessert, "pets de soeurs" [pronounced: pet duh sirrrr] -- literally translates to "nun's farts" -- is a traditional French Canadian dessert made from pie dough scraps in the exact same way made in this video. My grandmother used to make these for us as kids. Ah, so many memories eating nun's farts...
That seems pretty common in French. The name is either the most literal thing possible (baguette de pain) or some absolutely wild combination of words that don't belong together like "nun farts" or "daddy's beard".
Out of anything you guys could've made, nothing would have prepared me for this one, Celeste is a masterpiece, hope you guys do more of this kind of indie games food! Maybe pizza tower next?
@@iamnolongerhereanymore they'd throw you through a loop by making the pizza and afterthought and going through a several part series of making cheese, pizza dough, marinara, pepperoni, etc. all from scratch.
Celeste is such a great game! I love indies and named my account after Celeste. I'm not much of a fruit pie person, but those cinnamon pinwheels looked delicious!
I love all the series' but nothing makes me click faster than anime or arcade with Alivin. It combines all my favoirte things, but also I love that you show things you can do with leftovers/scraps that accumulate during the process. That's something very uncommon in cooking videos and super appreciated.
It would’ve been so cute if you made different pies with different amounts of strawberries for each ending! And the one with no strawberries would’ve been filled with mystery ingredients
If you're watching this because of Celeste: you're not the only one who feels the way you do. Maybe it's hard or shameful to reach out, but you can do it!
Aww, don’t worry, I’ve reached out to many long before I realized I’m trans. I got a super supportive group of friends and family that are helping me through my transition :3
This looks beautiful, Alvin! When made with 149 strawberries, the pie will explode into 8 colourful orbs (which themselves explode). It’s quite the sight, but you’re left without pie.
my grandparents always did that with the crust scraps too! they're getting too old to bake anymore, but warms my heart to see you sharing similar methods!
I think I was fairly confident watching Alvin make another pie. He did such an exquisite job with the lemon meringue pie that I knew he would make a beautiful strawberry pie. There are just some things you can’t deny.
I recently have been super big into Celeste so this recipe was a pleasant surprise as always I appreciate the attention to detail in including the required amount of strawberries for the ending
You mean to tell me there's an Indie video game named after me?! And it serves amazing strawberry pie!? I knew there was a reason I loved this channel. 😃🥧 🍓 ❤
Me in 2020: Wow, this game is great! Madeline's character feels really close to home, huh? I wonder why... Me in 2023, staring at the bottle of Estrogen on my desk: ...ah, right.
i absolutely love the way you always turn scraps into something else and try to never waste food. i'm always looking for things to do with pie crust scraps and those cookies look delicious.
That 'Powder Sugar' drizzle always tastes better if made liquid with lemon or orange juice. And since 'Lattice' was always too much trouble, I just punched rows of small holes in the top layer with a cigar tube. The cut out discs can be placed on the intersection of every four holes or pinched on around the edge for a nice use of scrap....
don't know if its intentional or not but if it is i love the detail that the last things you did were specifically referred to as "the homestretch" since that is the last challenge of the main celeste story chapters.
This is cool! I've haven't played Celeste yet, but I think I will after after watching this video. The strawberry pie looks so yummy! And perfect now that warmer weather is here. It would be awesome if you could do a recipe from the game, Coffee Talk
Looks superb! Speaking of dessert pies, I'd love to see a Babish/Alvin take on Toriel's *Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie* from _Undertale._ That'd be fantastic!
pie lattice work is my favorite baking thing! really putting that underwater basket weaving degree to work. (i really do love it. i find it soothing to do a simple repetitive task)
this is SO cute, i love strawberries, they're my favorite fruit, and the idea to make cinnamon roll cookies with the rest of the pie dough is awesome! it sounds so yummy
Lately, I've been watching Neon Genesis Evangelion, and it would be interesting to see Alvin make Misato's Curry and Instant Ramen combination. Seeing the reaction on Shinji and Ritsuko's faces was funny and priceless.😂
There is an official recipe card that came with the collector’s edition of Celeste. You can find it online! The dough is pretty similar, but the filling is completely different.
I do nearly the same thing with old pie crust scraps!! Except I use butter instead of egg wash because I prefer them a bit chewier instead of crispier.
I find the best way to remove the tops from strawberries is to grab a small paring knife by the blade, with just an inch or less of blade reaching past your fingers. Then insert the tip around the base of the stem at an angle and rotate the strawberry around. This removes the least amount of flesh from the berry and in my experience is quicker than setting it down and slicing it across the top. Learned it from a couple years in a prep kitchen
There's actually an official celeste strawberry pie recipe! I think it was distributed in the collector's edition, but it can probably be found online.
That cinnamon roll from excess doe was such an inspired idea. I always wondered. What people do with the extra doe and now i know a smart way to use it!
I loved in Maddie’s coming out post when they pointed out that a lot of Celeste’s player base knew before they did. It goes to show how deeply our identities are entrenched in us regardless of whether we’re aware yet. I played it before they came out and the whole time I was thinking “I know this is supposed to just be about general mental distress or whatever, but it sure feels very targeted at my transition specifically” 😂
You can cut strawberries with an egg slicer actually! I used to do it all the time making salads at my workplace since egg's and strawberries were the only garnish we needed to slice up
fun fact: one of the levels you can get strawberries on is a dream sequence, and you can get to the second level of quality with all the strawberries there and like 2 others, meaning madeline can make a fairly passable pie composed mostly of strawberries sourced from her dreamscape
Oh, my goddess! This looks amazing! Thank you so much for doing this! [Maybe in a future video, could you do Ultimate Curry/Royal Curry from the Rune Factory series?]
Re: icing for the cinnamon sugar whirls, I like to use lemon juice instead of water. It gives a zing to that unidimensional powdered sugar taste. I love cinnamon, and I think the lemon juice enhances it.
y'all must be spying on my internet activity, because i've been replaying Celeste for over a week and have been googling/youtubing guides on the Crystal Hearts for just as long, and now this video pops up? can't be a coincidence
The pie is a lot sweeter when you've spent dozens of hours getting every single strawberry.
I loved hunting down those berries.
And once you've put in about 5 grams of sugar
just dozens??

Should you add it when mashing the strawberries over the stovetop?

A great combination for muffins! I've recently salvaged overripe strawberries and bananas this way and it turned out delicious
@@sabbathjackalYeah, strawberry banana smoothies are on a whole other level.
I’m not a big fan of banana by itself but for some reason it meshes so well with other foods. It’s weird.
I like how Alvin never wastes food and trys to make something with the scraps too. Great job
Yeah I love that about him. I unsub from any cooking/baking channels that throw out scraps without a second thought.
Right tho?!🥰
Sanji would be proud of this guy
yesss!!! it's also cool because the cinnamon swirls are something my grandma would make for my mom!
Scraps with Alvin? 👀
"Remember, strawberries will impress your friends, but that's about it" 🍓
👍
"Be proud of your [mistakes]! The more [mistakes you make], the more you're learning. Keep going!"
I love that that got paid off as a double meaning.

My Nana calls those pie scrap cookies "pinwheels." Whenever I make a pie, I never forget to make them, I always think of her when I do so.
Our family does, too!
My stepmom calls them "puppy dog tails" :)
We call them nun’s farts… it doesn’t translate well from French
I love how Alvin casually takes a break from making one dessert to make an entirely new and also delicious-looking dessert from its scraps.
Seeing you appreciate Celeste, 2018 indie classic puts a smile on my face, thank you for your service
Hello there
I literally can't stop smiling. Celeste is one of my favourite game. Thanks Alvin. 👍

Celeste is such a special game to me, I actually took it as my second name. It's always a great conversation starter
thats literally so epic wth 🤯
I can't believe you haven't made all versions of end-screen cakes. Shaking and crying rn.
I need to see the awful pie that just ruins the mood of everybody in the ending
Nice Omori inspired profile pic, my man

That looks heavenly. I bet it tastes even better when you pick your own strawberries.
You could say that...
Something I appreciate a ton is how you all use the scraps to make little simple things. Its really cool and makes me feel better about watching this!

I’m so glad you finally did this. Celeste is tied for my favorite game of all time.

Celeste has an audio style like Okami.
In honor of Okami, make a peach dumpling!

Now I want a strawberry pie...
I absolutely loved Celeste, it is in my top 5 video games of all time. This was an amazing video and I really want to make this pie sometime 😁

They just did that not too long ago

The TASbot Celeste All Strawberries run is so worth it.
Alvin has really outdone himself with this one, just making those little cinnamon rolls crisps out of the excess dough, brilliant!
This game helped me really helped me get through some dark places, glad to see it getting a spot on this channel
Celeste is absolutely a masterpiece, and this pie is beautiful
I am in love with this game! Thanks Andrew and Alvin!
I've been wanting to see this covered for a while now, so I'm very glad to see it finally happen!
Great tip to use up leftover pie doughy and egg wash! Pie looks delicious and I enjoyed your voice over 👍
I really love that you show how to use up the leftovers! Warry waste efficient
Celeste is such a great game. Glad to see the pie recreated.
Please do the "honey-caramel-banana-chocolate donut" from Tokyo Mirage Sessions.
