Fresh Strawberry Pie

 

Delicious Strawberry Pie without Jello is overflowing with natural flavor and so simple to prepare from home. This simple yet delectable dessert dish is usually a favorite, especially when topped with a generous scoop of whipped cream!

 

INGREDIENTS

6 cups whole strawberries, hulled

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 cup water

1 (9-inch) pie crust, baked

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

 

1 cup strawberries, mashed with a fork or in a food processor, leave aside

In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Add the water and crushed strawberries and mix well. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, over medium heat. Allow the mixture to boil and stir for 3 minutes more, or until thick and transparent. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool. Meanwhile, place the remaining strawberries in the pie shell. To help them fit better, cut some of the berries in half. Over the strawberries, drizzle the chilled glaze. Ensure that the glaze has covered all of the berries and that there are no dry areas. Chill the pie for 2-3 hours, or until it has set. Heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar should be combined. Whip until soft peaks develop at medium-high speed. Serve the pie topped with whipped cream.
