Strawberry pie is one of my all time favorites. This is especially good when the berries are in season. As always, there are many recipes out there. I like this recipe because it is simple and produces excellent results. Be sure to get your berries firm. In other words, berries that are over ripe will make the pie too mushy. If you are really adventurous, you can use our homemade pie shell recipe. Store bought shells will do equally as well, however. Just keep in mind that the shell partly makes or breaks the quality of the pie. If you want the pie a little sweeter, add a touch more sugar. Alternatively, if you want it a little more tangy, reduce the amount of sugar. Whatever the occasion, our strawberry pie will be an instant hit with you family and friends. Try it today and let us know the outcome.

- Place the pie shell in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for at least 30 minutes. To make the pie shell in scratch watch our buko pie recipe. You can also use store bought pie shell if your running out of time.
- In a measuring cup, combine the corn starch and the water. Stir until cornstarch diluted well.
Cut the strawberries in half. Place half of them into a medium size pot. Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the berries. Add in the sugar and stir well.
Add the other half of the strawberries to the pie sell. Make sure they are evenly distributed. Place them cut side down for a good presentation.
Over a medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Be sure to stir them constantly. After a boil, gradually add in the cornstarch mixture. Reduce the heat, and allow it simmer for 10 minutes until it thickens. Stir it occasionally. Let it cool a little bit. - Pour the strawberry mixture over the strawberries in the pie shell. Allow the pie to cool for a couple of hours before serving.
- Prepare a large bowl containing cold water and ice cubes. In separate mixing bowl, pour in the whipping cream. Place the bowl of whipping cream over the bowl of ice water. Beat on high speed using an electric hand mixer for at least 5 minutes or until the consistency is stiff peaks (means the batter is floppy and stays on paddle attachments when pulled). Add the confectioner sugar and beat until well combined. Transfer cream onto a piping bag with fairly large tip.
- Pipe the pie according to your design preferences. Chill and serve. Enjoy!
