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. Let cool completely before continuing with the recipe.
Once cool spread the top of the crust with the strawberry jam, top with the half the sliced strawberries, spread half the cream on top, add the remaining strawberries and cream. Decorate with more strawberries and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
STABLIZED WHIPPED CREAM
In a large bowl beat until very thick the mascarpone, cream and sugar.
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. :)
