Ingredients
- 350 grams of chocolate crackers
- 200 grams of unsalted butter
- 2 cans of condensed milk
- 1/2 cup of lemon juice
- 4 egg yolks
- 600 grams of strawberries
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- water
Notes
- For the crust: Blend the crackers in a food processor or blender until they are finely ground. In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave and pour it into the ground crackers. Mix it well and press it into a pie pan. Let it rest in the fridge. If you like to omit this step, you can use a store-bought pie crust.
- For the lemon filling: Heat the oven at 180°C or 350°F. Open the condensed cans and pour them into a medium bowl, and mix it with the lemon juice well. Add the strained egg yolks ( I do that to prevent lumps into the mixture), blend and pour the pie filling into the crust and bake it for 20 minutes. Let it cool down.
- For the Strawberry filling: Wash the strawberries and cut the greens. Pat them with paper towel to discard some of the humidity. Cut the strawberries into fine slices. Arrange them over the pie filling in a circle. (like the picture) Put the extra strawberries into a blender, with the sugar, cornstarch and some water to let the blender do the job. Cook the strawberry mixture in a little pot over medium heat until it thickens. When you serve the pie, you can pour a little of this sauce for an extra touch or you can pour it over the pie as a strawberry glaze.
- You can enjoy this fresh strawberry pie recipe with your favourite coffee or tea at the end of a meal.
- If you don’t finish the pie, put plastic wrap over it and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
