Description
A delightful classic strawberry pie that is perfect for summer, featuring fresh strawberries in a sweet and tangy filling, all encased in a pre-baked pie shell.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe strawberries, cleaned and sliced
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie shell
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar, tapioca starch, sea salt, and water. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and well blended.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and continuously stir until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the lime juice. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully fold the sliced strawberries into the cooled mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Transfer the strawberry filling into the pre-baked pie shell, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
- When ready to serve, slice the pie and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a teaspoon of almond extract to the strawberry mixture before pouring it into the pie shell.
- To create a mixed berry pie, replace half of the strawberries with blackberries or raspberries.
