Best Fresh Strawberry Pie


I make this in the summer when the berries are fresh and juicy. I have tried many strawberry pie recipes but this one is the best imo. Chill time is 4 hours.

Steps


Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the cooked pie crust.
Fill pie crust with 2 cups of the largest berries.
In a saucepan , crush the remaining 2 cups berries.
Add in sugar and cornstarch.
Stir to combine.
Cook and stir constantly over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until the mixture is thickened and clear.
Add in lemon juice.
Stir.
Remove pan from heat and cool slightly.
Pour berry mixture over the berries in the pie crust.
Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
Before you are ready to serve , prepare whipped cream as follows: add whipping cream to a mixing bowl.
Whip , using an electric mixer.
Gradually add in sugar and whip until peaks form.
Spoon whipped cream over pie wedges if desired.
