Ingredients

1 9-inch pie crust pre-baked
5 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup whipped cream for topping, optional

Instructions

Arrange 4 cups of fresh strawberries in the pre-baked pie crust and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Mash the remaining 1 cup of strawberries and stir them into the glaze.
Pour the glaze over the fresh strawberries in the pie crust, coating evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve chilled with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Storage: Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed fresh.
Customization: Try adding a layer of cream cheese or custard beneath the strawberries for a richer variation.
Serving Tip: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a decorative touch.
