Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes! It’s actually best made the day before serving so it chills completely and slices beautifully.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Fresh strawberries are best for the topping, but you can use frozen ones for the glaze if needed. Just thaw and drain them well first.

What if I don’t have heavy cream?

You can substitute whipped topping like Cool Whip for a shortcut, but the texture will be slightly lighter and sweeter.
