Step-by-Step Guide to the Perfect BIG BOYS FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE:
1. Getting the Crust Ready:
If you’re using a pre-made crust, follow the package instructions to bake. For those venturing into a homemade crust, roll out your dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Ensure to bake until it’s golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
2. Strawberry Filling Time:
In a medium saucepan, mix granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Let it boil for about 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.
Stir in lemon juice and, if desired, a drop or two of red food coloring. Let this mixture cool slightly.
Gently fold in the fresh strawberries, ensuring they’re coated well with the mixture.
Pour the strawberry filling into the cooled pie crust.
3. Whipped Cream Magic:
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken.
Add in powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
Generously spread or pipe this whipped cream over the strawberry-filled pie.
4. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate your BIG BOYS FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE for at least 3 hours, or until set.
Slice, serve, and brace yourself for a wave of compliments!
