Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I pre-bake the pie crust according to the package instructions. This step is crucial because a nice, crisp crust is the foundation of a good pie! While it’s baking, I wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them and set them aside. Meanwhile, I also prepare the cream filling by whipping together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until I have soft peaks. It’s always a joy to watch the cream transform into something fluffy and delicious! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
