Notes
Please only use fresh strawberries for this recipe. Frozen strawberries are too watery and will affect the consistency of the pie.
Make sure to pat your washed, fresh strawberries completely dry before slicing them. Any extra water left on the fruit can thin out the filling of your beautiful no-bake dessert.
For the absolute best, most sliceable consistency, this strawberry cream pie needs plenty of time to set up in the fridge. It requires a strict minimum of 6 hours to firm up properly, but letting it chill overnight is highly recommended.
