How to make it

If making the pie by hand – roll the dough to approximately 1/8 inch thickness or a bit thicker if you prefer, then place it  in the prepared pie plate, prick the bottom well with a fork.

Cover the dough with parchment paper and pie weights or beans, bake for about 15-20 minutes.

    And stabilized whipped cream.

    How to make stablilzed whipped cream?

    There are actually a few ways of making Stablilized Whipped Cream, from mascarpone, gelatine to cornstarch.

    Making the stabilized cream in a silver mixing bowl.

    What is the best dough to use?

    I used my Chocolate Puff Pastry to make this pie, but you could use a Classic Pie Crust, my Italian Pastry Dough, this Brown Sugar Pie Crust or even store-bought if you prefer.

    How to blind bake

    Prick the bottom of the crust well with a fork. Cover the bottom of the crust with parchment paper and add dried beans or pie weights on top, bake in a pre-heated 350F (180C) oven for approximately 20 minutes (if pie is not baked, then bake for an additional 5 – 10 minutes without the beans). If pre-baking for a fruit filling then bake for only 5-6 minutes. Remove from the oven, remove paper and beans, let cool completely before filling.

    Tips for making the best pie

    To keep the bottom of the pie from getting soggy, a light layer of strawberry jam will help, or make the crust a little thicker than 1/8 inch. To help the pie keep its shape be sure to make a stablilized whipped cream.

    Should strawberries be refrigerated?

    Fresh strawberries can be kept on the counter for 1-2 days, 1 day if they have been cut, up to 2 days if they are kept whole. If you want them to last longer keep them refrigerated for 5-7 days if whole and up to 3 days if cut. They can also be Frozen, and will last up to 1 year. If leaving strawberries whole, don’t rinse them until you use them.

    Can you use frozen strawberries?

    Yes frozen can be used, be sure to thaw them and pat dry to remove any extra moisture.

    How to store the pie

    The pie should be covered loosely in plastic and stored in the refrigerator, it will last up to 4-5 days in the fridge.

    • 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

    • 1-2 cups sliced strawberries
    • ½ cup mascarpone
    • 1 ½ cups whole/whipping/heavy cream
    • 1-2 tablespoons icing/powdered sugar

    Instructions
     

    • Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Lightly grease and flour an 8 or 9 inch (20 or 22 cm) pie pan.
    • If making the pie crust by hand – roll the dough to approximately 1/8 inch thickness then place it  in the prepared pie plate, prick the bottom well with a fork.
    • Cover the bottom of the crust with parchment paper and add dried beans or pie weights on top, bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, remove the parchment paper and weights from the pie, if it is not completely baked then bake for an additional 5 – 10 minutes without the bean.

    STABLIZED WHIPPED CREAM

    Notes

    For stabilized whipped cream there are a few ways to make it, this post will give you other options.
    I don’t usually add extra sugar to my strawberries but if you prefer you can toss the sliced strawberries with 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
    I also added an extra layer of strawberry jam on the first layer of stabilized cream as per my husband’s request. 🙂
