Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust: Begin by rolling out the pie dough to an even thickness of 1/8 inch on a lightly-floured surface. Carefully fit the dough into a 10-inch glass pie plate, ensuring the edges are crimped decoratively for an elegant touch.
-
Chill the Crust: Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, allowing it to firm up and maintain its shape during baking.
-
Pre-Bake the Crust: Prick the pastry lightly with a fork, then line it with foil and fill with dry beans or pie weights to prevent puffing. Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) and bake the crust for 10 minutes. After this time, remove the beans and foil, sprinkle the bottom of the crust with sliced almonds, and return it to the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the almonds turn golden brown. Allow the crust to cool completely.
-
Prepare the Strawberry Filling: Hull and slice 1 pint of the strawberries. In a medium saucepan, combine these sliced strawberries with ยผ cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring until the sugar has dissolved, then let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
-
Thicken the Filling: In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and ยพ cup of water until smooth. Add this mixture to the cooked strawberries and return to a boil. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice for a bright, zesty flavor.
-
Assemble the Pie: Hull the remaining 1 ยฝ pints of strawberries and arrange them decoratively in the cooled pie shell. Pour the thickened strawberry mixture over the top, ensuring all strawberries are well-coated.
-
Chill the Pie: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or until set.
-
Make the Whipped Topping: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and icing sugar until soft peaks form. Serve the pie slices with a generous dollop of whipped topping for a luxurious finish.
Enjoy this vibrant Strawberry Pie at your next potluck or family gathering, and savor the essence of summer in every slice!
