Description

This Strawberry Glazed Pie is a vibrant, no-bake dessert that showcases the peak flavor of fresh strawberries. The key is the silky, translucent glaze created by gently cooking crushed berries with sugar and cornstarch, which sets into a beautiful, glossy coating over the whole berries nestled in the crust. It offers a perfect balance of sweet and tart, enhanced by a splash of lemon juice. This pie is incredibly refreshing and visually stunning, making it an ideal centerpiece for summer gatherings, potlucks, or as a light, elegant ending to a dinner party. It requires minimal effort but delivers maximum impact with its jewel-toned appearance and juicy texture.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash, drain thoroughly, and hull the strawberries.
  2. Arrange about 3 cups of whole berries neatly over the bottom of the baked and cooled pastry shell.
  3. Crush the remaining 2 cups of strawberries in a saucepan using a potato masher or fork.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, and cornstarch until well combined.
  5. Stir the sugar mixture into the crushed berries in the saucepan until no dry spots remain.
  6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil and thickens significantly, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the lemon juice.
  8. Allow the glaze to cool to room temperature, then spoon it evenly over the whole berries in the pie shell.
  9. Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour, or until the glaze is completely set and firm.
  10. Slice and serve chilled.
