Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Fresh strawberries
- 1 piece Pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whipped cream
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Step 2
Take 1 cup of strawberries and mash them into a puree using a fork or blender. Reserve the remaining whole strawberries for later.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mashed strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, water, lemon juice, and salt.
Step 4
Stir the mixture constantly until it thickens and becomes glossy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 5
Arrange the remaining whole strawberries (pointed ends up) inside the pre-baked pie crust.
Step 6
Pour the cooled strawberry glaze evenly over the berries, ensuring all are coated. Use a spatula to spread the glaze into empty spaces.
Step 7
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the glaze is fully set.
Step 8
Before serving, top with freshly whipped cream or serve it on the side for added indulgence.
Step 9
Slice into wedges and enjoy the burst of fresh strawberry flavors in every bite!
