A delightful summer dessert featuring a buttery crust and a glossy strawberry filling, perfect for warm-weather gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 4–6 tablespoons ice water
  • 5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled (1 cup mashed, 4 cups whole or halved)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Mix briefly.
  2. Cut the cold, diced butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  3. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time. Stir until the dough holds together but is not sticky.
  4. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap, and chill for 20–30 minutes.
  5. Roll the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer and press gently to sit evenly. Trim and crimp the edges.
  6. Bake the crust at 375°F for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  7. In a medium saucepan, mash 1 cup of strawberries. Add sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir to combine.
  8. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes glossy.
  9. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and let cool slightly.
  10. Arrange the remaining strawberries in the cooled crust and pour the glaze over them.
  11. Refrigerate for 3–4 hours until set.

Notes

Use ripe but firm strawberries. For a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and chill the dough longer.
