- 1. Bake your premade crust. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and 1/3 cup cold water stir to dissolve lumps set aside.
- 2. In a medium saucepan combine chopped strawberries sugar and salt. Stir to combine and cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a gentle boil. Cook about 5 minutes until the berries create a little pool of sauce. Stir up the cornstarch and water mixture and add to the pan cook and stir often until the strawberry sauce boils again and thickens up about 4 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Set aside to cool to room temperatuare. Beat the heavy cream in a large bowl until very thick. Stir in gently the strawberry mixture and pile into the prepared cooled pie crust. Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours. This can be made with a graham cracker crust if you desire. If fresh strawberries are available I slice and serve the pie on top of them just to make it look pretty. Enjoy.

Steps:
- To prepare crust:Place the flour, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. The colder the better for all the ingredients and tools.With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the cold butter a few cubes at a time, until the butter breaks up into pea-sized crumbs (any larger chunks you can break up with your fingers).Add the apple cider vinegar and one tablespoon of ice water at a time, mixing on low speed until it just barely comes together into a crumbly dough (you should be able to pinch a piece of dough and have it hold together). Knead the dough once or twice to form a ball, then form into a disc. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Let the crust come to room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes (it should be still cool but pliable).Roll out crust into a round large enough to fit into your pie pan with a 1-inch overhang. Gently transfer rolled out crust to pie pan, easing it into the pan so as not to stretch the dough. Trim any uneven edges so there is a nice even overhang around the entire pie.Fold the overhang under itself, then crimp as desired. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.Line pie with a piece of foil, lightly draping the foil over the crimped edges. Fill with granulated sugar to weight it down (pie weights work too, also dried rice or beans).Bake crust for 50 to 60 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Remove from oven and carefully lift out foil with weights. If the crust still seems underdone, pop it in the oven for another 10 minutes or so until golden brown and puffed. Place on a wire rack and let cool.For the Filling:Pick out about 8 ounces of the least-attractive berries; hull and cut in half. Process berries in a food processor until smooth, 20 to 30 seconds, scraping down bowl as needed. You should have a scant 1 cup purée.Whisk sugar, cornstarch, Pomona's pectin, and salt in a bowl and set aside.In a medium saucepan, stir together berry puree, lemon juice, rose water, along with calcium water (if using Pomona's pectin). Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with heatproof rubber spatula, and bring to full boil. Add sugar-pectin mixture and stir vigorously until completely dissolved. Return to a boil, scraping bottom and sides of pan to prevent scorching, for 1 to 2 minutes to ensure that cornstarch is fully cooked; it will become very thick. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature.Meanwhile, pick over remaining berries to find the most attractive ones; if you have any extra-large berries you can cut them in half, otherwise, leave them whole. Place in a large bowl.Pour glaze mixture over berries and fold gently with rubber spatula until evenly coated. Scoop berries into cooled pie crust, arranging them into a nice looking mound, rearranging as necessary and flipping berries so the cut sides are facing down.Refrigerate about 2 hours until fully set, then slice and serve. This pie is best enjoyed within 5 hours of chilling, topped with freshly whipped cream.

STRAWBERRY ICEBOX PIE
If you adore creamy strawberry desserts, this deluxe icebox pie topped with glossy, springy homemade strawberry gelatin is a treat you won't want to miss. The recipe, from Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream in New York, updates a classic strawberry icebox pie with two major tweaks. Instead of using frozen whipped topping and a box of strawberry gelatin, it calls for freshly whipped heavy cream and the juice drained from an entire pound of macerated berries. The recipe does take some time to put together, but results in the richest, silkiest and most deeply strawberry flavored pie imaginable. You'll need to start this at least one day before you want to serve it, but it keeps well for up to three days in the fridge. The wafer cookies get softer and more cakelike as they sit.

Steps:
- For the strawberry gelatin: combine sliced strawberries and sugar in a medium heat proof (preferably metal) bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 18 to 24 hours.
- To make the crust: Heat oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease a 9- or 10-inch pie dish (don't use anything smaller). In a food processor combine wafers, sugar and melted butter. Process until mixture is well blended. Transfer to prepared pie dish and, using the bottom of a flat-bottomed measuring cup, press crumb mixture into an even layer on the bottom and up the sides, pressing up about 1/4-inch past the rim of the pie pan. Bake until the crust darkens slightly at the edges, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- To make the filling: Purée 3 ounces strawberries in a food processor, blender or immersion blender until smooth. You should have about 1/4 to 1/3 cup strawberry purée. Set aside. Quarter another 2 ounces of strawberries to yield about 1/3 cup, and set aside.
- With a whisk or an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat heavy cream and sugar until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in strawberry purée until just combined, making sure not to over beat. Using a rubber spatula, fold in quartered strawberries. Scrape strawberry cream into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top. Press the halved vanilla wafers vertically into the filling so that it is studded throughout with wafers. Cover pie with plastic wrap or parchment paper, place on rimmed sheet pan and chill in refrigerator for at least 3 hours (and up to 3 days). The longer the pie sits, the more cakelike the cookies get.
- Once the pie has chilled, thinly slice the remaining 5 ounces of strawberries. Remove pie from refrigerator and place sliced strawberries over the filling to cover it, overlapping slightly if necessary. Place back into the refrigerator, covered, as you make the strawberry gelatin.
- Put an inch or two of water in a medium saucepan and bring water to a simmer. Place the still-covered bowl of strawberries on top of the saucepan. Be sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl; if so, pour some water out. Heat strawberries to release more juice, swirling the bowl occasionally (use oven mitts), for 15 minutes; they should look very juicy. Using a fine sieve, strain strawberries until there is about 2/3 cup juice. You can press gently on the berries to release more juice but don't press too hard or the gelatin will get cloudy. Save the strawberry solids for something else, like smoothies.
- Transfer about 2 tablespoons of the hot strawberry juice into a bowl and sprinkle gelatin over the top; let it sit for a few minutes to soften. Add remaining strawberry juice to gelatin mixture and whisk until completely dissolved. Whisk in lemon juice.
- With the pie still in the refrigerator on a sheet pan, pour the gelatin over the sliced strawberries (pouring the gelatin over the back over a spoon suspended over the pie can be helpful to get an even layer of gelatin over the top and doing this work while the pie is in the fridge ensures the glossiest topping and keeps everything from spilling). Let pie chill in the refrigerator, uncovered, until the gelatin sets, at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve with whipped cream dolloped on top.
Tips
- To make a delicious strawberry refrigerator pie, you will need fresh, ripe strawberries, a pre-made graham cracker crust, sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, heavy cream, and powdered sugar.
- Before you begin making the pie, ensure that the cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This will make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
- To achieve a smooth and creamy filling, beat the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy. Then, gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until well combined.
- For a richer and more flavorful filling, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream.
- When whipping the heavy cream, make sure to stop before it forms stiff peaks. Over-whipped cream will make the filling too thick and dense.
- To assemble the pie, spread the cream cheese mixture over the bottom of the graham cracker crust. Then, top with the sliced strawberries. Finally, pour the whipped cream over the strawberries and smooth it out with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
Conclusion
The strawberry refrigerator pie is simple and easy to make, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion. With its creamy filling, fresh strawberries, and graham cracker crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a delicious and refreshing dessert, give this strawberry refrigerator pie a try.
