How to Make This Fresh Strawberry Pie Recipe

Start with the Crust

If you have the extra time, definitely use your favorite homemade pie crust recipe. Since I’m usually scrambling last minute, my go-to crust is a 9″ ready-made pie crust like Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, found in the refrigerated dough section of the grocery store. It’s best NOT to use a pre-frozen pie crust.

Prepare the pie crust according to the instructions. Typically, you’ll preheat the oven to 450° and cook the pie crust for 10 minutes until golden brown and set aside to cool.

Prep the Strawberries

While the pie crust is baking, remove the stems and hull the strawberries. Cut them into quarters then wash and drain.

Make the Filling

In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, salt and cornstarch. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils.

Continue cooking until clear about 1 minute more. Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin. Allow to cool. If you’re in a hurry, you can float the saucepan in a larger bowl filled with ice water to speed up the cooling time.

Fold in strawberries.

In a medium bowl, add whipping cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, whip until soft to medium-stiff peaks form.

Top the strawberry pie with homemade whipped cream and you’re ready to serve!
