Strawberry Pie Recipe
Strawberry Pie is a sweet and refreshing dessert featuring a buttery crust filled with juicy, ripe strawberries and a glossy glaze. This classic treat is perfect for summer, delivering a burst of fresh fruit flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled
- ¾ cup water
- 1 pie crust, baked
- ½ heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup white sugar
Instructions
- Start by arranging half of the strawberries in the pre-baked pastry shell.
- Set aside the remaining strawberries in a medium saucepan.
- Add sugar to the strawberries in the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth.
- Gradually stir this mixture into the boiling strawberry sauce.
- Lower the heat and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the thickened strawberry mixture over the fresh strawberries in the pastry shell.
- Place the pie in the refrigerator to chill and set for at least 3 hours.
- Before serving, whip the cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form.
- Serve each slice of pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a splash of lemon juice to the strawberry mixture while it’s simmering.
- The acidity will enhance the natural sweetness of the strawberries and add a refreshing tang to your pie.
