Ingredients
Scale
- 6 1/2 cups Frozen Strawberries (Birds Eye preferred for consistent sweetness)
- 3/4 cup Sugar (Adjust based on desired sweetness)
- 1 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice (Freshly squeezed recommended for higher acidity)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract (Enhances flavor)
- 1 pinch Salt (Balances sweetness)
- 1/2 cup Cornstarch (Acts as a thickening agent)
- 2 Pie Shells (Pillsbury refrigerated crusts preferred for flakiness)
Instructions
- Thaw the frozen strawberries in a large bowl. Drain any excess juice to prevent a soggy pie.
- Combine sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, salt, and cornstarch in a separate bowl.
- Add the sugar mixture to the strawberries and gently toss to coat them evenly.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place one pie crust in a pie dish, pressing it firmly into the edges.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
- Cover with the second pie crust and cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
Use quality frozen strawberries for the best flavor. Allow the pie to cool completely to set properly. Adjust sugar based on the berries’ sweetness.
