Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into quarters if they are large, or halves if they are small.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is evenly distributed among the strawberries.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to form a smooth slurry.
Step 5
Once the strawberry mixture is simmering and the strawberries have softened, about 5 to 8 minutes, add the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan.
Step 6
Continue to cook the mixture for another 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the filling thickens and becomes glossy.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 8
Allow the filling to cool to room temperature before using it as a topping or filling.
Step 9
Store any unused filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
