How to Make Best Fresh Strawberry Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your favorite 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade) according to package directions. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  2. While the crust is cooling, gently wash and hull 4 cups of fresh strawberries. Set aside the 2 largest and prettiest cups for the top layer.
  3. In a medium saucepan, crush the remaining 2 cups of strawberries using a potato masher or fork.
  4. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch to the crushed strawberries.
  5. Stir to combine thoroughly ensuring no lumps remain.
  6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes clear and glossy.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
  8. Let the strawberry filling cool slightly.
  9. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar over the cooled pie crust.
  10. Arrange the 2 cups of reserved, large strawberries over the powdered sugar in the pie crust.
  11. Carefully pour the cooled strawberry filling over the arranged berries in the pie crust.
  12. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set completely.
  13. **For the Whipped Cream (Optional):** In a chilled mixing bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  14. Gradually add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  15. Spoon whipped cream over pie slices before serving. Enjoy!
