Note

For best results, use a deep-dish pie shell to accommodate the generous filling.

The pie can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Chilling will help the filling set further.

If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them before measuring to prevent a watery filling.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
