Equipment

Ingredients

Filling

  • 6 cups fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch (see note)
  • ½ cup water
  • red food coloring (optional)
  • Topping ideas: Coconut Whipped Cream, Vegan Ganache (drizzled over the top).

Instructions

For the Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Follow the directions to make the crust. Blind bake in a 9-inch pie pan for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown on the edges. Set aside to cool.

For the Filling:

  • Wash the strawberries and remove the green caps. Separate about 2 cups of the strawberries and use a fork or food processor to mash them, leaving some texture. This should equal one cup of mashed strawberries.
  • Dry remaining strawberries with a dishcloth or paper towels. Set aside.
  • Mix sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Stir in water and crushed strawberries. Cook and stir over medium heat until simmering (low boil). This mixture will thicken as it cooks. Remove it from heat and stir in food coloring (if using).
  • Place dried strawberries in the cooled pie crust. Spoon the strawberry sauce over the strawberries in the pie. Use a spoon to make sure the sauce gets between the strawberries. Refrigerate the pie until set and chilled, at least 2 hours.
  • This pie is best when served fresh. Serve with whipped cream and/or drizzles of vegan chocolate.

Notes

Regarding Cornstarch — You can use 3 tablespoons of cornstarch for a softer filling. Because this recipe calls for 4 tablespoons, you'll want to spread it over the strawberries quickly because it will thicken as it cools.
