Easy Strawberry Pie With Frozen Strawberries

Treat yourself to the delicious and juicy goodness of strawberries with our simple and easy recipe for Easy Strawberry Pie With Frozen Strawberries. Whether you’re looking for a fancy dessert for a special event or a cool snack for a hot summer day, this tasty pie is a great pick. With its crispy crust and bright strawberry filling, it’s sure to make your taste buds happy and leave you wanting more.

Ingredients:

• For the filling:
  • 6 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
  • ½ cup cornstarch
• For the pie crust:
  • You can use your favourite pie crust recipe or two pre-made pie shells (one for the bottom and a lattice top)

Instructions:

1. Make the filling: In a large saucepan, combine the frozen strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Heat over medium-low heat for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release some juices.
2. Increase the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. The filling should be bubbly and clear. Remove from heat and let cool for at least an hour.
3. Prepare the pie crust: If you’re making your own crust, preheat your oven according to the recipe instructions. Bake the bottom pie crust according to the recipe or package directions for blind baking (usually partially baking the crust without the filling).
4. Assemble the pie: Once the filling is cool and the crust is baked, pour the strawberry filling into the bottom pie crust. If using a top crust, weave it over the filling to create a lattice or cover completely. Brush the top crust with milk or cream for a golden brown colour (optional).
5. Bake the pie: If you pre-baked the bottom crust, bake the entire pie for 20-25 minutes at 375°F (190°C), or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges. If you didn’t pre-bake the crust, bake for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
6. Let cool completely: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. You can enjoy it as is or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side.

Here are some additional tips:

• You can add a tablespoon of vanilla extract to the filling for extra flavour.
• If your strawberries are very tart, you may want to add a little more sugar to the filling.
• To prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy, you can brush it with a melted butter and sugar mixture before adding the filling.
• You can also use a store-bought pie crust if you’re short on time.
