Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 125 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Stevia
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Hull and slice them into quarters.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, water, and lemon juice over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally.
Step 3
Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow it to cook gently for about 10 minutes, until the strawberries become soft.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
Step 5
Add the cornstarch slurry to the strawberries, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the filling to thicken.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and stevia, adjusting the sweetness to taste.
Step 7
Allow the strawberry filling to cool completely before using. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or use immediately in your favorite dessert recipes.
