Easy Strawberry Pie Recipe: 5 Ingredients!

Ingredients

• 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled
• 1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.75 cup water
• 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. Gather all of your ingredients for the strawberry pie.
2. Arrange half of the fresh strawberries in the pre-baked pie crust. Place the remaining fresh strawberries into a medium sized saucepan.
3. Add granulated sugar to the fresh strawberries in the saucepan; place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring the ingredients frequently.
4. Whisk cornstarch and cold water together in a separate small bowl until smooth. Gradually stir this cornstarch mixture into the boiling strawberry mixture. Reduce the burner heat and simmer the combined mixture until thickened, approximately 10 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
5. Pour the cooked strawberry mixture evenly over the fresh berries already arranged in the pastry shell. Place in the refrigerator until chilled and completely set, allow at least 3 hours of refrigeration time.
6. Just before serving the chilled pie, whip heavy cream in a medium-sized bowl until soft peaks gently form.
7. Serve each slice of homemade strawberry pie with a generous dollop of freshly whipped cream. Enjoy this delicious and easy strawberry dessert!
