Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 125 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Stevia
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Hull and slice them into quarters.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, water, and lemon juice over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally.
Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow it to cook gently for about 10 minutes, until the strawberries become soft.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the strawberries, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the filling to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and stevia, adjusting the sweetness to taste.
Allow the strawberry filling to cool completely before using. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Once cooled, store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or use immediately in your favorite dessert recipes.
