Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, almond flour, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until combined.
Add the melted butter to the dry mixture and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the bottom of a glass to press it down firmly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In the meantime, mash 2 cups of the fresh strawberries in a small saucepan. Add 0.75 cups sugar, cornstarch, and water to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Cook the strawberry mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes glossy, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let it cool to room temperature.
Arrange the remaining 4 cups of whole strawberries in the cooled crust. Pour the cooled strawberry glaze evenly over the strawberries, making sure they're fully coated.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
