Picking Fresh Strawberries

Last weekend my hubby and I went to an organic strawberry farm near me to pick the last strawberries of the season. Here in Florida, the “winter strawberry capital of the world”, strawberry season is over for us while it is just beginning in California and other parts of the USA.

It is so easy to make this strawberry pie recipe. All you need is 7 ingredients, including your prebaked pie crust and coconut whipped cream. You can prepare one of my 3 vegan gluten-free pie crust recipes: Gluten-Free Vegan Pie Crust, Almond Flour Pie Crust, or Graham Cracker Pie Crust.

For this easy strawberry pie, the filling is so simple to prepare. I decided to thicken it with cornstarch, crushed strawberries, sugar, and water. The natural flavor of the sweet strawberries was able to pop! This was the best strawberry pie I have had. My entire family enjoyed it, so it didn’t last very long at all.

Strawberry Pie Ingredients

Pie crust, baked or storebought: You can use my Gluten Free Vegan Pie Crust, Almond Flour Pie Crust, or Gluten-Free Graham Cracker Pie Crust You can also use a ready-made pie crust to make it very easy. (In the freezer area of Aldi, there is a pack of delicious pre-made vegan crusts.)
Fresh strawberries: 2 pounds of fresh strawberries are required. The best strawberries are those that are currently in season.
Organic cane sugar: Depending on the sweetness of the fruit, add more or less sugar.
Cornstarch: By this, the liquids in the pie thicken as it bakes, preventing runny filling after baking and cooling.
Water
Salt: A pinch of salt adds flavor to the pastry.
Coconut whipped cream: This pie is best topped with coconut whipped cream frosting, as it maintains its shape and doesn’t deflate, but you can also use any vegan whipped cream you prefer to buy.

How To Make Vegan Strawberry Pie?

Bake pie crust and cool completely. In a saucepan, add 2 cups of strawberries, crush with a potato masher, add sugar, and salt, and bring to a boil on medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix water and cornstarch, and add the cornstarch mixture to the strawberry sauce stirring until the mixture thickens about 5 minutes. Allow the strawberry sauce to cool.
Arrange the remaining strawberries at the base of the baked pie crust. Pour the strawberry sauce over the strawberries and chill for about 2 hours.
Top strawberry pie with vegan whipped cream and serve.

Tips For Making Strawberry Pie

Adjust sweetness according to how sweet your strawberries are. You can also substitute with coconut sugar, maple syrup, or 1 dropper full of stevia.
Substitute cornstarch with tapioca or arrowroot starch.
You can find store-bought coconut whipped cream, brands like Cocowhip are available in the health food store and some grocery stores, and you can also try homemade Coconut Whipped Cream or Cashew Cream with 2 tablespoons of sweetener added.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Is A Quart of Strawberries?

A quart of strawberries can vary based on the size of the strawberries since a quart is measured by volume. A quart of small strawberries will actually weigh more than a quart of large ones. The weight can be anywhere from 1 1/2 pounds to 2 1/2 pounds. Here is a handy cooking conversion chart.

How Long Can I Keep This Pie In The Fridge?

Typically fruit pies can be left out at room temperature but because this strawberry pie is garnished with coconut whipped cream it will need to be refrigerated. It will keep covered in the refrigerator for 3 days.

Can You Freeze Strawberry Pie?

Yes, you can freeze the strawberry pie stored in a freezer container for up to 2 months.

The pie will last three months in the freezer. The entire pie should be firmly wrapped in freezer wrap before being placed in a freezer-safe bag. Additionally, you can wrap and freeze individual pieces.

What To Do With Leftover Strawberries?

Why not, of course, prepare some strawberry jam! It’s possible to freeze homemade jam for months after making it and keep it fresh for weeks.

The next morning, make strawberry pancakes or use them to make Strawberry Acai Lemonade or Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream. Another cool idea for a dessert.

Can I Make This Strawberry Pie Gluten-Free?

I actually made my own gluten-free pie crust. The only gluten-containing element of this dish that you might find is if you use premade pie crust that isn’t gluten-free. So, if you’re able to find a gluten-free option, go for it! Also, check your cornflour twice because some producers add fillers that may contain gluten even though they should only include corn.

Can I Replace Sugar With Another Sweetener?

If you want to reduce the amount of sugar in the dish, you can substitute it with a sweetener like an date syrup, maple syrup or stevia.

Are There Flavor Variations I Can Use?

Absolutely! Using strawberry sauce with strawberries is merely one option that can be easily substituted with almost any other berry! Raspberries, cherries, blueberries, oranges, etc.

Do Pies Have To Have A Top Crust?

A pie is a baked good that can be either sweet or savory and has a filling, like an apple pie. A pie pan or dish has sloped edges. It may have only the bottom crust, only the top crust, or both the bottom and the top crust.

What Is A Pie Without A Top Crust Called?

A tart consists of a straight-sided, shallow pastry with no top shell that is filled either before or after baking. Usually, tarts are made in tart pans, which often have a scalloped edge. However, tarts can also be made on a baking tray, frequently with the aid of a ring or a frame.

I think this recipe deserves to be shared, so please try it and have some fun making your own new family tradition. Along with turkey, why not try making something new? This year we’ll be eating Vegan Strawberry Pie! Enjoy Baking!
