Description

This delicious Strawberry Pie recipe features ripe strawberries combined with plant-based ingredients to create a vibrant, naturally sweet dessert with a tender, flaky crust. Simple to prepare and easily customizable, this pie is perfect for any occasion and offers a wholesome, cruelty-free treat bursting with fresh fruit flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter

Filling

  • 4 cups fresh ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon natural lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent (such as pectin or agar)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the flour, sugar, and cold plant-based butter in a bowl, mixing until the mixture is crumbly but holds together when pinched. Press this evenly into the bottom and sides of your pie dish. Chill the crust while you prepare the filling.
  2. Prepare the filling: Hull and slice the strawberries. In a separate bowl, mix the strawberries with sugar, natural lemon juice, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and the natural gelling agent. Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend and the fruit to release juices.
  3. Assemble the pie: Pour the strawberry filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly. Optionally, add a decorative lattice crust on top or leave it open-faced for a rustic look. Sprinkle with a little extra sugar for a sparkling finish, if desired.
  4. Bake and cool: Bake the pie at a moderate temperature until the crust turns golden and the filling bubbles gently around the edges. Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating to fully set the filling.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, firm strawberries for the best flavor and appearance.
  • Keep the crust cold before baking to ensure a tender, flaky texture.
  • Do not skip resting the filling; it enhances sweetness and juice development.
  • Follow package instructions for the natural gelling agent to ensure the filling sets correctly.
  • Cool the pie completely before slicing so the filling holds together well.
