You will love this strawberry pie with frozen strawberries recipe! The sweet strawberry filling was a refreshing new change on a pie.

It's a great way to indulge in this sweet pie without needing fresh strawberries.

Which thickener works best for strawberry pie?

When you make any pie, to help thicken up the filling, you need to use either corn starch, flour, tapioca, or a gelatin. The choice is yours!

  • Corn starch - ½ cup
  • Tapioca - 6 Tbsp
  • *Flour - ¾ cup
  • Gelatin - 6 Tbsp

For a complete list of thickeners and how much to use depending on the fruit, check out this article.

*if using flour, cook at a lower temperature so it doesn't burn

Why does my strawberry pie not thicken up?

Strawberries are one of the juicies fruits, and this means you need to have enough thickener for it to work.

Also, make sure your thickener is not expired, as it won't work as effectively.

Strawberry Pie Ingredients List

Here's what you need to make this strawberry pie:

  • 6 Cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 2 pie crusts-one for bottom and one for top ( I like to make a lattice on the top)


How to make the best strawberry pie

In a medium saucepan, add the frozen strawberries (I like to buy a large bag of strawberries from the freezer section--lasts longer than fresh strawberries and is great to use in smoothies too) and lemon juice.

Then in a medium mixing bowl, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Whisk this then pour over the frozen strawberries.

Let these cook covered on medium/low heat for 15 minutes until the strawberries start to get unfrozen and soft. 

Then, turn your heat up and let the strawberries get up to boiling. Boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly so it doesn't burn. At this stage, the strawberry filling will look a lot thicker. Then, remove from heat.

While your strawberries are cooling down, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pour the cooled straberry filling into your pie crust.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the pie crust is golden brown, rotating it at about half-way.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 2 pie shells one for the bottom, and one for the lattice top

Instructions

Directions:

  1. Add the frozen strawberries and lemon juice into a medium saucepan.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Whisk together, then pour over the frozen strawberries.

  3. Let the strawberries cook covered on medium-low heat for 15 minutes until the strawberries are starting to get soft. Then, turn your heat up and let the strawberries get to boiling. Boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Then remove from heat.

  4. While your strawberries are cooling down, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  5. Pour the slightly cooled strawberry filling into your crust. Then, carefully weave the lattice top on to the pie, cutting off any excess.

  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the lattice top is starting to look golden brown. Make sure to rotate it half-way into the cooking time so it cooks evenly.

Recipe Notes

If you like your pie crust to be crispy, pre-bake your pie crust without the filling in the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes. (Place your pie crust in your pie pan, then place a sheet of parchment paper on the dough. Pour pie weights or dried pinto beans into the pie pan. Then, pre-bake.)

    I have 2 flats of strawberries to deal with and was wondering if this would work if frozen as prepared and then baked at a later date from frozen ?

      I haven't tried, but I think it would still work. You would want to either let the frozen strawberry pie thaw before baking or it would require a longer cooking time.

    I usually add tapioca to my pies to firm up the filling. Would it be okay to do so in this recipe? Thanks.

      Absolutely, tapioca can be used! I would use about 6 tbsp of tapioca in substitution for the corn starch. 🙂

    its really 1/2 cup of cornstarch????

      Hi Sherrill, to help the pie thicken up properly, 1/2 cup of corn starch is what you should use. It might seem like a lot but that is because strawberries are some of the juiciest fruits so they require a significant amount of thickener. I hope this helps! 🙂

    Tonight was the second time I used this recipe. The first was a trial run to see how it would turn out. Delicious! It was even better chilled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! So tonight I made it again in anticipation of an Easter family reunion. My brother in law was kind enough to give us a large batch of strawberries that he sliced and froze. I'll try to make sure he gets a taste! I do have a question regarding refrigeration. Is it required for this recipe? Tomorrow night we need to take it two hours away to a family members house. I'll put it in the frig here overnight, but then can it sit at room temp till Sat? Thanks!

      Hi Vickie! Glad it was such a hit! I think the pie will be fine in the refrigerator, but you don't have to keep it refrigerated. Room temperature works best, so it should be no problem! I hope your family enjoys it!!

      I use my own flaky pie crust recipe, but you can use whatever you like. You will want it to be unbaked when you place the strawberry pie filling into it. I hope this helps. 🙂

    I love strawberry anything and this looks so yummy. I just planted a large patch of strawberries and only got a small amount of strawberries so I am hoping next year I will have enough to freeze for the whole winter long. Having strawberry pie in the winter would be fantastic!

    I love the idea of using frozen strawberries. This turns strawberry pie into a year-round treat instead of just an occasional summer dessert.

      Thank you Tracy! I also like using frozen strawberries because of the convenience factor. Everytime my family buys fresh strawberries, we never use them fast enough before they go bad.
