Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Pie Crust: Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and press it firmly against the bottom and sides. Crimp the edges decoratively, if desired.
Bake Crust: Bake the pie crust according to the package instructions or until it is golden brown. Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
Prepare Strawberries: Slice half of the strawberries into thin slices and set them aside. Roughly chop the remaining strawberries and place them in a medium saucepan.
Make Filling: In the saucepan with the chopped strawberries, add sugar, cornstarch, salt, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and the strawberries break down, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let the filling cool slightly.
Assemble Pie: Arrange the sliced strawberries in the cooled pie crust, covering the bottom evenly. Pour the cooked strawberry filling over the sliced strawberries, spreading it out evenly.
Chill: Place the pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
Serve: Once chilled, slice the pie and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Enjoy: Enjoy the delightful combination of sweet strawberries and flaky crust in this delicious strawberry pie cake!
Note: You can customize this recipe by adding a layer of whipped cream or cream cheese filling between the sliced strawberries and the cooked filling for extra richness.
