Where to find ingredients
Strawberries and all-purpose flour are widely available in the produce and baking sections of most supermarkets. Margarine, oil, eggs, sugar, salt, baking powder, condensed milk, table cream, milk, and cornstarch can be found in the dairy, baking, or general grocery aisles of supermarkets. Strawberry gelatin is usually found in the baking or dessert aisle of supermarkets, or in specialty baking supply stores. If fresh strawberries are out of season or unavailable, frozen strawberries can be used for the filling, though they may release more liquid. For gelatin, check the dessert or baking aisle of your local supermarket or a specialty baking shop.
Preparation method
- Prepare the gelatin according to package instructions and refrigerate until it reaches the consistency of egg whites
- In a saucepan, mix the condensed milk, table cream, egg yolks, milk, and cornstarch
- Cook over heat, stirring constantly, until it boils and thickens into a rich cream
- Continue stirring to prevent lumps or scorching on the bottom of the pan
- Set the cream aside and let it cool to lukewarm or room temperature
- In a bowl, combine the dough ingredients, gradually adding flour until the mixture no longer sticks to your hands
- Line the bottom and sides of a medium or large baking dish with the dough
- Prick the entire surface of the dough with a fork
- Bake in a preheated medium oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is lightly golden
- Remove from the oven and let the crust cool completely before assembling the pie
- Spread the cream evenly over the baked crust
- Arrange the sliced strawberries over the cream layer
- Pour the gelatin (with the consistency of egg whites) over the strawberries to cover the pie
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving
