Zubereitung von Real Strawberry Pie With French Cream Topping
- Cook 2 pints frozen strawberries in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until they release their juices (about 5-7 minutes).
- Increase heat to medium-high. Stir frequently and cook until the mixture reaches a jam-like consistency, about 10-15 minutes.
- Reduce the mixture to exactly 2 cups. If necessary, continue cooking until it reaches the desired volume.
- While the berries cook, combine 1 packet (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin, ¼ cup cold water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small bowl. Let stand until softened and thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Add the gelatin mixture, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt to the cooked berry mixture. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- Transfer the filling to a bowl and let cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent skin formation.
- Gently fold in 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries into the cooled filling. Pour the mixture into your pre-baked 9-inch pie shell.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours, to allow the filling to set completely.
- For the French Cream Topping: Beat 4 ounces cream cheese, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup heavy whipping cream and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Serve the chilled pie generously topped with the French cream topping.
- For a lower-calorie topping: Use 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese and fold in 1 cup Cool Whip Lite or a similar light whipped topping.
