Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-baked Homemade Pie Crust
  • 5 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping optional

Method
 

  1. Wash, hull, and halve the fresh strawberries. Place 2 cups in a saucepan and mash them slightly to release their juices.
  2. Add sugar, cornstarch, and water to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns glossy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and vanilla extract.
  3. Arrange the remaining whole strawberries in the pre-baked crust. Pour the cooked strawberry filling evenly over the fresh berries, ensuring they are coated well.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the filling is set. This allows the flavors to meld and creates the perfect consistency.
  5. Slice and serve chilled, topped with whipped cream or alongside New York Cheesecake for an extra indulgent treat!

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: Prepare the filling a day in advance and store in the fridge until ready to assemble.
  • Refrigeration: Store leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Not recommended as the fresh strawberries may become watery.
Reheating: Best served chilled, but let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing for easier serving.
