Strawberry Pie Scratch (Printable Version)

Sweet strawberries, dreamy glaze, and a rich, crumbly crust make up this chilled crowd-pleaser. No baking needed—just good times.

# What You'll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 1 baked and cooled pie shell

→ Glaze

02 - 240 milliliters fresh strawberry purée
03 - 2.5 tablespoons corn starch
04 - 60 milliliters water
05 - 150 grams cane sugar

→ Filling

06 - 900 grams strawberries, cleaned up and sliced

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Cut into slices and enjoy. Add some whipped cream on top if you feel like it.
02 - Pop the whole thing in the fridge for at least 3 hours, or let it hang out overnight so the filling gets firm and the flavors come together.
03 - Pile the berry mixture into your pie shell and spread it out evenly. You can let the top mound up a little if you want.
04 - Pour the cooled glossy glaze over your berries and gently stir until all the fruit gets covered.
05 - Rinse your strawberries, take off the stems, and slice them up.
06 - Pull the pan off the stove and just leave the sauce alone until it doesn’t feel warm anymore.
07 - Keep things at a soft boil between 3 and 5 minutes, stirring the whole time so it thickens up and gets a rich red color.
08 - With the stove set low or medium, heat things until they bubble, always stirring so nothing sticks or burns.
09 - Pour the dissolved corn starch mix and sugar into a saucepan, then add in the strawberry purée and stir everything until smooth.
10 - In a small cup, mix corn starch and water really well so you don’t see any lumps.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Speed things up by chilling the warm strawberry glaze in the freezer or fridge. Give it a stir now and then so it cools down evenly.
