I make this in the summer when the berries are fresh and juicy. I have tried many strawberry pie recipes but this one is the best imo. Chill time is 4 hours. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons powdered sugar |
1 9 inch pie shell, baked and cooled |
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled |
1 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
2 cups whipping cream |
2 tablespoons sugar |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the cooked pie crust.
2. Fill pie crust with 2 cups of the largest berries.
3. In a saucepan, crush the remaining 2 cups berries (I use a potato masher).
4. Add in sugar and cornstarch; stir to combine.
5. Cook and stir constantly over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until the mixture is thickened and clear.
6. Add in lemon juice; stir.
7. Remove pan from heat and cool slightly.
8. Pour berry mixture over the berries in the pie crust.
9. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
10. Before you are ready to serve, prepare whipped cream as follows: Add whipping cream to a mixing bowl; whip, using an electric mixer.
11. Gradually add in sugar and whip until peaks form.
12. Spoon whipped cream over pie wedges if desired.
