Ichigo Pie

I've been on a baking binge lately! Today I'm going to show you how I made one of my favorite pies - Strawberry Pie!

Step 1: THE CRUST

The science behind the perfect flaky crust is cold and fat. Literally.

Step 2: THE FILLING

This part was pretty easy. The only tricky part was boiling the dry ingredients together. Put in the cornstarch before the water starts to boil and mix it thoroughly. Otherwise, you'll end up with some globs of chewy gelatin (which I actually kind of enjoyed). Cut your strawberries and put the ugly ones on the bottom.

Step 3: WHIPPED CREAM

While your pie is settling in the refrigerator, you can make an easy whipped cream! All you need is heavy whipping cream and confectionary sugar. The trick is to whip the heavy whipping cream a little bit first before you add in the sugar. It allows the mixture to reach at peak faster. I don't really have measurements for this. You can just add whatever you like based on your desired sweetness.

Step 4: ADMIRE & EAT!

Look at your cute strawberry pie! Admire its perfectly flaky flaws and stare at its sweet, red glaze. Look at that fluffy, white cream! Now put them together and eat! So delicious!
