Strawberry Cream Pie To Die For

Strawberry Cream Pie To Die For

Strawberry Cream Pie To Die For is a luscious dessert that perfectly balances fresh, juicy strawberries with rich, silky cream atop a buttery, flaky crust. This easy-to-make pie delivers ultimate flavor harmony and refreshing texture contrasts, ideal for family gatherings or special occasions.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 pre-made or homemade buttery pie crust

For the Cream Filling

  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar (adjustable to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

For the Strawberry Layer

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Start by pre-baking your buttery pie crust until it’s golden and crisp. This helps avoid sogginess once the filling is added and provides a satisfying crunch every time you bite in.
  2. Make the Cream Filling: In a saucepan, gently heat whipping cream with sugar and vanilla extract, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon thanks to cornstarch, creating that perfectly smooth texture.
  3. Layer the Strawberries: Wash, hull, and slice fresh strawberries, then arrange them evenly over the cooled pie crust. Distributing the berries well ensures every slice features those juicy bursts.
  4. Pour the Cream Filling: Carefully pour the warm cream mixture over the strawberries, letting it seep into every nook while smoothing the top with a spatula for a neat finish.
  5. Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the filling to set completely, ensuring clean slices and a refreshing coolness that enhances every bite.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients: Let cream warm slightly for smoother blending.
  • Pat strawberries dry to prevent a soggy crust.
  • Chill pie before serving for better slice shape and refreshing taste.
  • Use a sharp, wet knife to slice cleanly.
  • Use strawberries within a day or two of buying for optimal freshness.
