Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries – ripe and sweet for bold flavor
  • Sugar – balances tartness and enhances sweetness
  • Cornstarch – thickens the glaze for a firm filling
  • Water – forms the base for the glaze
  • Lemon juice – adds brightness and balances sweetness
  • Baked pie crust – provides a crisp, buttery foundation
  • Whipped cream – optional topping for creamy contrast

Instructions

  1. Bake the pie crust if not already prepared, then let it cool completely.
  2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Simmer until thickened and clear.
  3. Chill the glaze for 10 minutes to set and avoid sogginess.
  4. Gently fold strawberries into the cooled glaze until well coated.
  5. Fill the pie crust with the glazed strawberries, spreading evenly.
  6. Chill the assembled pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
  7. Top with whipped cream just before serving for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Use fresh, in-season strawberries for best flavor.
  • Allow glaze to cool fully before mixing with berries.
  • Blind bake your crust to maintain flakiness.
  • Optional cream cheese layer under strawberries for added richness.
  • Do not freeze the pie as it affects texture.
