Stir in strawberries. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes or until filling thickens. Refrigerate about 30 minutes, stirring once, until cool. Just before serving, spread strawberry filling in crust. In medium bowl, beat whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Spread on top of pie. Garnish with strawberries..*1 bag (1 lb) frozen unsweetened strawberries, sliced and thawed, can be used instead of the fresh.
If you don't own two pie plates, purchase a disposable foil pie pan to place on top of the crust. |
