Ingredients
- 1 piece Premade pie crust
- 1.5 pounds Fresh strawberries
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Pre-bake the premade pie crust according to the package instructions. Allow it to cool completely before adding the filling.
Step 2
Rinse and hull the strawberries. Slice them in half if they are large, leaving smaller ones whole for visual effect.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water until well combined.
Step 4
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and forms a gel-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Arrange the fresh strawberries in the pre-baked crust, distributing them evenly.
Step 7
Pour the slightly cooled gel mixture over the strawberries, ensuring they are well-coated and the filling is evenly spread.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours, or until the filling is set.
Step 9
Once the pie is fully chilled, slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
