Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 5 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 6 leaves Mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If your pre-made pie crust is uncooked, bake it according to the package instructions until golden brown, then set aside to cool completely.
Step 2
Wash the strawberries thoroughly. Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Reserve 4-5 whole strawberries for garnish, if desired.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir the mixture until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and no lumps remain.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes translucent. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Arrange the sliced strawberries in the pre-baked pie crust, spreading them evenly.
Step 7
Pour the warm glaze over the strawberries, ensuring all the fruit is coated. Use a spatula to smooth the surface, if needed.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the glaze to set completely.
Step 9
Before serving, garnish the pie with whipped cream, reserved whole strawberries, and mint leaves for an added touch of pizazz.
Step 10
Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing, fruity dessert!
