Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to cut strawberries for strawberry pie?
Homemade strawberry pie is a celebration of ripe, summertime strawberries, so it combines both cooked strawberries and fresh. We slice our strawberries into quarters — or eighths if they’re large — so you get a nice bite, and they hold their own in the pie.
Is strawberry pie supposed to be served warm or cold?
Fresh strawberry pie should be served chilled. It needs to set up before you eat it — or those juicy, juicy strawberries will run right off your fork. We recommend refrigerating your pie for at least 3 to 4 hours before you serve it.
What other flavors can I add to strawberry pie?
Chocolate and strawberry are a match made in heaven. Drizzle a little melted chocolate over your homemade strawberry pie. It will look super pretty and taste delicious.
