Number Of Ingredients 10

For the Crust:
8 tablespoons (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted, using more if needed
14 ounces graham crackers (about 24 crackers), crushed into fine crumbs in a food processor or blender
For the Strawberry Filling:
3 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled, divided
1 cup (7 ounces) granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons powdered unflavored gelatin
Pinch kosher salt
1 teaspoon juice from 1 lemon (optional; see note)
Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the Crust: In a medium bowl, stir butter into graham cracker crumbs until evenly incorporated. Firmly press into an even layer lining the bottom and sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate; it helps to use the bottom of a measuring cup to flatten bottom of crust evenly. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
  • For the Strawberry Filling: Place 12 ounces of strawberries in a food processor or blender and blend to a smooth puree. You should have about 3/4 cup puree (it's okay to have up to a cup ).Transfer to a 2-cup liquid measuring cup and set aside.
  • Cut remaining strawberries into 3/4-inch slices, transfer to a large bowl, and stir in the sugar. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until berries release about 3/4 cup liquid, about 1 hour. Measure out enough macerating liquid to combine with strawberry puree for 1 1/2 cups total. Drain macerated berries of any extra liquid; reserve extra liquid for another use or discard.
  • Place 2 tablespoons water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle gelatin evenly on top and let stand 5 minutes. Microwave gelatin mixture in 10-second intervals until gelatin is melted and hot, about 10 seconds.
  • Scrape melted gelatin into a large bowl, then gradually whisk in strawberry puree mixture until well combined. Whisk in salt.
  • Add drained macerated strawberry chunks and stir to combine. Adjust taste with lemon juice, if desired, then immediately pour into the prepared pie crust. Turn the berries on top skin side up for best presentation. Refrigerate until set, 4 to 6 hours. Serve with whipped cream.

FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE



Fresh Strawberry Pie image

This pie is a celebration of perfectly ripe, summertime strawberries. Only two cups of the berries are cooked down into a quick jam, which holds the rest of the fruit together for a delightfully fresh pie. With a crunchy shortbread crust and a cloud of freshly whipped cream, it's reminiscent of strawberry shortcake - but maybe even better.

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 2/3 ounces/300 grams shortbread cookies (two 5 1/3-ounce packages)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup/55 grams unsalted butter, melted
2 1/2 pounds/about 1 kilogram strawberries (about 8 to 10 cups), hulled
1/3 cup/65 grams granulated sugar
3 tablespoons strawberry preserves
1/4 cup/30 grams cornstarch
Pinch of kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup/240 milliliters cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, combine shortbread cookies, sugar, flour and salt and blend until you have fine crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a medium mixing bowl. Add butter and mix with a fork until crumbs are evenly moistened. Tip crumbs into a standard 9-inch pie plate and press them in an even layer on the bottom and up the sides of the plate. Bake until golden brown and set, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare filling: Cut each of the strawberries in quarters or eighths, if they are large. Transfer 2 cups berries to a small saucepan and crush completely with a potato masher. Set aside the remaining berries in a large bowl. Add the sugar, preserves, cornstarch, 1 tablespoon water and salt to the saucepan.
  • Bring strawberry mixture to a boil over medium heat and then cook it an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add strawberry mixture and lemon juice to the strawberries in the bowl and stir to combine. Transfer to the prepared crust and gently tap it down into an even layer. Transfer to the fridge to set for at least 4 hours.
  • Just before serving, whip cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla, if using, to soft peaks. Top pie with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right strawberries: Choose ripe, deep red strawberries with a sweet aroma. Avoid berries that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Preparing the crust: Use a food processor to achieve a fine crumbly texture for the crust. Ensure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces to prevent the crust from becoming tough.
  • Chilling the dough: Chilling the dough before rolling it out helps prevent the butter from melting and creating an uneven crust.
  • Par-baking the crust: Par-baking the crust before filling it helps to prevent a soggy bottom and ensures a golden brown crust.
  • Macerating the strawberries: Macerating the strawberries with sugar draws out their natural juices and intensifies their flavor.
  • Thickening the filling: Adding a cornstarch slurry to the strawberry mixture helps thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny.
  • Baking the pie: Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Use a pie shield or foil to prevent the crust from over-browning.
  • Cooling the pie: Allow the pie to cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set properly.

Conclusion:

This classic summer dessert combines a flaky homemade crust with a sweet and tangy strawberry filling. With its ease of preparation and stunning presentation, this pie is perfect for any occasion. From selecting the perfect strawberries to mastering the art of the lattice crust, the detailed instructions and helpful tips provided in this recipe ensure a successful and delicious outcome.
