Notes

  • If your strawberries are extra juicy, increase the cornstarch slightly to ensure the filling sets properly.
  • Brushing the pie crust with melted chocolate before adding strawberries can prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Using a food processor to whip the cream can save time and create an ultra-smooth texture.
