For a richer flavor, consider using a homemade pie crust. Blind baking the crust with pie weights will prevent it from puffing up unevenly. Adjust the amount of orange liqueur to your preference. A little extra adds a lovely warmth, but be careful not to overpower the strawberry flavor. If you don't have orange liqueur, you can substitute with orange juice, but the flavor will be less intense. For a glossy finish, brush the baked pie crust with a lightly beaten egg white before baking. This will also help prevent the crust from becoming soggy. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.

May 31, 2025I was a bit intimidated by the glaze at first, but it was surprisingly easy to make. Will definitely make this again.
