Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add 3 tablespoons of water and mix until a smooth paste forms. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a separate pot, bring the remaining water to a boil. Gradually add the boiling water to the sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Simmer over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear. (Cook time: approximately 5 minutes)

03

Step

Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, almond extract, and red food coloring. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

04

Step

Allow the mixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before gently folding in the sliced strawberries. (Cooling time: 15 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared pie crust and chill in the refrigerator until set. (Chill time: at least 1 hour)

06

Step

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add confectioners' sugar to taste, continuing to whip until well combined and desired sweetness is achieved. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

07

Step

Spread the whipped cream topping evenly over the chilled pie. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve.

For an extra burst of flavor, macerate the strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice for 30 minutes before adding them to the cooled mixture.
If you don't have almond extract, vanilla extract works well as a substitute.
Ensure the pie crust is completely cooled before adding the filling to prevent it from becoming soggy.
