Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Strawberry Pie.
Step 1
Begin by gathering all the essential ingredients for your delightful strawberry pie.
Step 2
Next, take half of the hulled strawberries and arrange them evenly in the pre-baked pie crust, creating a beautiful base.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining strawberries with sugar, heating the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a lively boil.
Step 4
Stir frequently to prevent any sticking.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth, then gradually incorporate this mixture into the bubbling strawberries, stirring continuously.
Step 6
Lower the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for about ten minutes, or until it thickens to a luscious consistency, stirring to keep it lump-free.
Step 7
Once thickened, pour this vibrant strawberry concoction over the arranged strawberries in the pie crust, ensuring they are generously coated.
Step 8
Place the pie in the refrigerator for a minimum of three hours, allowing it to chill and set perfectly.
Step 9
When you're ready to serve, whip the heavy cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form, adding a touch of elegance to your dessert.
Step 10
Slice the pie and top each piece with a generous dollop of whipped cream, transforming your creation into a delightful treat.
Step 11
Savor every bite of your scrumptious strawberry pie!.
