The Best Fresh Strawberry Pie 🍓🍓

Ingredients:

1 9-inch pie crust, baked

1 quart fresh strawberries

1 cup white sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

3/4 cup water

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (because you can’t buy whipped cream for a homemade pie!)

Directions:

Step1: Arrange half the strawberries in a baked pastry shell. Mash remaining berries and combine with sugar in a medium saucepan. Step2: Place saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.

Step3: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water.

Step4: Gradually stir cornstarch mixture into boiling strawberry mixture.

Step5: Reduce heat and simmer mixture until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step6: Pour mixture over berries in pastry shell. Chill for several hours before serving. In a small bowl, whip heavy cream and 2 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form.

Step7: Serve each slice of pie with a dollop of whipped cream.
