Old Fashioned Strawberry Pie
Description
Old Fashioned Strawberry Pie features a flaky baked deep dish pie shell filled with a mixture of fresh strawberries, both sliced and mashed. The mashed strawberries are cooked with sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice to create a thick glaze that holds the fruit together and adds sweetness with a touch of tartness. Once cooled and poured over the sliced berries, the pie is chilled for several hours to set the filling. The cream cheese whipped topping, made by whipping heavy cream with softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, adds a smooth, subtly tangy complement to the fruity filling. Its creamy texture contrasts the tender, juicy berries while balancing the sweetness. This dessert is best served chilled and can be piped with decorative designs using the whipped topping or served with a simple dollop on each slice.
Ingredients
Strawberry Pie
- 1 pie shell baked deep dish
- 6 cups strawberries divided, fresh, sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
Cream Cheese Whipped Topping
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Slice strawberries. Mash some of the strawberries until you have 1 cup mashed. Place the remaining strawberries into the baked pie shell. Place into the refrigerator for later use.
- Place 1 cup mashed strawberries into a large saucepan. Stir in sugar, water, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and cook 1 minute until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.
- Allow mixture to cool, 1 hour. Pour cooled mixture over the strawberries. Return pie to the fridge until set, about 4 hours.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat heavy cream with cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag to pipe designs onto finished pie, or serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream.
