Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Bake the pie crust in the preheated oven until golden brown and slightly puffed, approximately 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. (25 minutes)

03

Step

In a blender or food processor, purée 1 cup of the hulled strawberries until smooth. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the strawberry purée into a medium saucepan. Whisk in the water, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the glaze thickens and becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes. (7 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the orange liqueur. Set the glaze aside to cool slightly. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Arrange the remaining 3 cups of hulled and halved strawberries decoratively in the cooled pie crust. (10 minutes)

08

Step

Pour the slightly cooled orange liqueur glaze evenly over the arranged strawberries, ensuring they are nicely coated. (3 minutes)

09

Step

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the glaze is completely set. (240 minutes)

10

Step

Serve chilled with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream, if desired.

For a richer flavor, consider using a homemade pie crust. Blind baking the crust with pie weights will prevent it from puffing up unevenly.
Adjust the amount of orange liqueur to your preference. A little extra adds a lovely warmth, but be careful not to overpower the strawberry flavor.
If you don't have orange liqueur, you can substitute with orange juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
For a glossy finish, brush the baked pie crust with a lightly beaten egg white before baking. This will also help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.

    I was a bit intimidated by the glaze at first, but it was surprisingly easy to make. Will definitely make this again.

    I used orange zest instead of liqueur and it was still delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

  • Eliza Spencer

    The strawberry puree for the glaze is a great idea. Gives it a lovely texture and flavour.
