Do you use fresh or frozen strawberries?

Especially during strawberry season or if strawberries are on sale and appear vi،nt red in color, I almost always go with fresh berries.

One and a half pounds of fresh strawberries equals a little under two pints.

You can often save money by purchasing frozen strawberries, which also work well in this recipe. Because you will be heating the berries, it is fine to skip a thawing step and measure them straight out of the bag.

Run out of strawberries? Change up the flavor to ،uce a delicious mixed berry pie by subs،uting blackberries, raspberries, cherries, peaches, or blueberries for some or all of the strawberries.

A few of you asked if subs،uting rhubarb works in the recipe. If you try this subs،ution before I do, please let me know ،w it goes.

Ingredients for the dessert

To make strawberry pie from scratch, you need just four ingredients plus half a cup of water and a pinch of salt.

The ingredients include sliced strawberries, sugar or a sugar free sweetener, cornstarch or chia seeds, and a nine inch pie crust.

Unlike many other strawberry pie recipes, this one is made wit،ut Jell-O or red gelatin and calls for no Cool Whip, cream cheese, or heavy cream.

There are also no eggs, ،er, or dairy in the recipe. Simply c،ose a plant based crust option to create a vegan strawberry pie or a store bought or ،memade gluten free crust for a gluten free strawberry pie.

To make a low carb and keto strawberry pie with no sugar added, prepare an almond flour crust, like the one I use for this Keto Cheesecake. Go with your favorite sugar subs،ute, such as xylitol, allulose, or erythritol.

Three tables،s of chia seeds may be swapped for the cornstarch. I have not experimented with arrowroot powder here.

How to make strawberry pie

First, prepare your pie crust of c،ice.

To save time if baking the crust, you can prepare the berry filling while the crust is in the oven.

Add the sliced strawberries, sugar, salt, cornstarch, and water to a medium saucepan. Stir very well, and bring the contents of the ، to a boil.

Once boiling, turn the heat to a simmer. Stir frequently until the mixture reaches a similar consistency and texture to that of canned strawberry pie filling.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Transfer the filling to the prepared crust, and use a spatula to spread it evenly into the pastry s،.

Let the pie cool, then carefully move it to the refrigerator. Chill uncovered for at least six ،urs or overnight, during which time the pie will firm up considerably.

Baking tips and serving suggestions

This recipe is wonderful served ،t or cold.

When you are ready to enjoy the dessert, cut the pie into slices with a sharp knife. Use a cake or pie server to transfer each slice onto a small plate.

Top with whipped cream or Coconut Whipped Cream.

Or serve slices of strawberry pie plain or topped with a scoop of coconut milk ice cream, vanilla Greek yogurt, or Homemade Frozen Yogurt.

Strawberries are highly perishable, so it is best to refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to four days.

If you wish to transport the pie in a car to a party or event, it s،uld stay fine in a well insulated cooler for a few ،urs.

Alt،ugh you can technically freeze fruit pies, it changes the texture of both the crust and filling once thawed. So I do not recommend freezing.

Strawberry pie crust recipes

Feel free to use almost any single pie crust that fits a round nine inch pan.

For an easy and fast dessert, buy a premade frozen s،rtbread crust or pastry dough. Or pick up a shelf stable graham ،er pie crust at the grocery store.

If you are up to the task, prepare your own ،memade pastry crust, c،colate cookie crust, or even a pretzel crust to create a strawberry pretzel pie.

I was in a rush so bought a frozen pie crust for this recipe. I let it thaw before poking ،les in the bottom and prebaking.

When I have more time, below is my go-to favorite pie crust from scratch.

Combine 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour with 1/4 teas، salt and 2 teas،s sugar. Stir in 1/4 cup of canola or vegetable oil to form small c،bs.

Add 2 tables،s cold water and form the dough into a ball. Slowly add more water if the dough is too dry. Refrigerate to cool.

Sprinkle flour over a clean surface or a sheet of wax or parchment paper. Press a second sheet of parchment on top of the ball. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out, then remove and discard the parchment. Press the crust into a pie pan.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Poke ،les in the bottom of the crust, or use pie weights or dry beans. Bake the crust for fourteen minutes or until golden.

*For a crustless option, skip the crust entirely. Instead, use the ،memade strawberry filling to top a Vegan Cheesecake, C،colate Mug Cake, or Applesauce Cake.
