Ingredients for Big Boys Strawberry Pie
- 1 pre-made pie crust (because we’re keeping it simple, right?)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Steps to Make Big Boys Strawberry Pie
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). We want to make sure that our pie crust is golden brown and oh-so-delicious.
- Place your pre-made pie crust into a pie dish and bake it in the oven for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Keep an eye on it because no one wants a burnt pie—not on my watch!
- While that’s baking, grab a medium-sized bowl. Combine the hulled strawberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Give it a good toss so everything is nicely coated. This will prevent the strawberries from getting too mushy while adding a delightful zing!
- Once the pie crust is out of the oven and cooled, spoon the strawberry mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Now, let’s whip up some cream! In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually fold in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until you have a sweet, fluffy cloud of deliciousness.
- Scoop the whipped cream over the strawberries and smooth it out. Feel free to be a bit generous here—there’s nothing wrong with a little extra fluff!
- Chill your pie in the refrigerator for at least an hour to let the flavors mingle and the pie set up nicely. (Time to fire up some Netflix while you wait!)
Cooking Tips for the Best Strawberry Pie
Here are a few tips to make your Big Boys Strawberry Pie even more fabulous:
- Wave goodbye to soggy crusts by ensuring it’s fully cooled before adding any filling.
- If you’re feeling bold, feel free to add a splash of your favorite liqueur to the whipped cream for a fancy twist!
- Got leftover strawberries? Toss them in a smoothie or over your morning yogurt. No waste, just yum!

FAQs About Big Boy’s Strawberry Pie

Absolutely! If you’re looking for a lighter option, you can use whipped topping or even Greek yogurt (just make sure it’s nicely sweetened!).
How can I store leftovers?
Keep any leftover pie covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just be warned—it might disappear quickly!
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can! Just remember to thaw and drain them first, but fresh strawberries really lend that vibrant flavor and texture, so go for those if you can!
