Old Fashioned Strawberry Pie

Strawberry Pie

• 1 baked deep dish pie shell
• 6 cups sliced fresh strawberries divided
• 1 cup 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

How To Prepare

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Allow mixture to cool, 1 hour. Pour cooled mixture over the strawberries. Return pie to the fridge until set, about 4 hours.
4. 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.
