Ingredients

Salted Shortbread Crust

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened or melted
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Strawberry Filling

  • pounds fresh strawberries approximately 6-8 cups; rinsed and hulled; larger ones sliced in half
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Homemade Whipped Cream

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Salted Shortbread Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Mix all crust ingredients together by hand in a mixing bowl and place the dough in a pie dish.
  • Spread evenly along the dish.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
  • Allow to cool while you make the rest of the pie.

Strawberry Filling

  • Take 1 ½ cups of strawberries and place them in either a bowl or saucepan.
  • Mash them with the back of a fork. You could also puree them with a blender, food processor, or emulsion blender.
  • Add your strawberries to the saucepan (if they're not already in there).
  • Add sugar, cornstarch, and salt, and mix over medium heat until thickened. It can take a few minutes (up to 10 minutes).
  • Cool this mixture until it's just barely warm and add it to the rest of the fresh strawberries.
  • Mix well, but gently, before pouring this filling into the baked pie crust.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for an hour or two before eating. (This time frame depends on you and when you want to eat your pie. I'd recommend an optimal chill time of anywhere from 1 to 5 hours. But I've eaten the pie after 30 minutes of chilling and it was still amazing.)

Homemade Whipped Cream

  • Combine heavy cream with sugar and use a mixer to whip it up until desired whipped cream consistency.
  • Top pie slices with a generous dollop of whipped cream before devouring. Enjoy!!
