Steps:

I'm not sure if this strawberry lemon pie recipe could get any easier or more delicious! The lemon layer is tangy and creamy and the sweetened strawberries really add a pop of flavor. The whipped cream is light and creamy on top. What a delightful treat.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pre baked single flour pie crust
1 can(s) lemon pie filling
2 c strawberries sweetened and sliced
whipped cream to decorate
1-3 Tbsp white sugar for berries

Steps:

  • 1. Bake your favorite recipe for flour pie crust. I like Gwydolyn Maddox recipe for single crust pies. Be sure to prick dough before you put it into the oven to discourage blistering. Remove when golden brown and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • 2. Clean and hull fresh strawberries. Slice and place into a medium bowl. Add sugar sparingly and allow to marinate for several hours in the refrigerator.
  • 3. When pie crust has cooled to room temperature, spread lemon pie filling over the crust and cool for several hours in the fridge. Cover the filling with plastic wrap to avoid drying.
  • 4. Right before serving the pie, spread strawberries evenly over lemon pie filling for presentation. If serving just a piece or two at a time add the strawberries as you go. Reserve any juice that may have gathered in the bottom of the bowl.
  • 5. Cut into 8 servings and plate. Spoon reserved juice onto plated pies. Serve with whipped cream. YUM
  • 6. NOTE: Once strawberries are picked they stop ripening. So try to get the ripest berries you can. As shown in the picture the narrower the white line in the strawberry the riper it is.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of flavors in your pie, use Meyer lemons. Their slightly sweeter and less acidic taste will complement the strawberries perfectly.
  • If you can't find Meyer lemons, you can use regular lemons. Just be sure to reduce the amount of sugar in the filling to 1/2 cup to avoid an overly tart filling.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in a tough crust. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of ice water at a time until it comes together. If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it is no longer sticky.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When making the filling, be sure to use fresh strawberries. Frozen strawberries will not produce as much juice and will not have as good of a flavor.
  • If you want a thicker filling, you can add 1/4 cup of cornstarch to the filling before cooking. This will help to thicken the filling as it cools.
  • To prevent the top crust from getting too brown, cover it with a piece of aluminum foil halfway through baking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This strawberry lemon pie is the perfect summer dessert. It's light, refreshing, and bursting with flavor. The combination of sweet strawberries and tart lemons is simply irresistible. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it as a special treat, this pie is sure to be a hit.
