Because only some of the berries are cooked and just a small amount of thickener is used, this pie has a fresh, true strawberry flavor.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 graham crackers (2 1/2 by 5 inches)
1 cup sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened cranberry juice
2 quarts strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced (a few whole berries reserved for garnish)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, blend graham crackers with 2 tablespoons sugar until finely ground; add butter and pulse until crumbs are moistened. Press mixture into the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until crust is lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, cranberry juice, 2 cups strawberries, cornstarch, and salt. Using a potato masher, gently mash strawberries. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until very thick, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in remaining strawberries. Pour into cooled pie crust. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours (or up to 1 day).
  • In a large bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over cream and continue to beat until soft peaks return (do not overbeat). Spread whipped cream over pie, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border around edge. Garnish with whole berries.

This pie was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would try using a different type of cookie for the crust next time, like shortbread cookies.

This pie was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add some spices to the filling next time, like cinnamon or nutmeg.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's because I used unripe strawberries. I would try using ripe strawberries next time.

The crust was a bit crumbly, but the filling was delicious. I would try a different crust recipe next time.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not usually a fan of icebox pies, but this one changed my mind. The filling is creamy and flavorful, and the strawberries are perfectly tart. The crust is also delicious and easy to make.
