Ingredients

1 ready-made pie crust baked and cooled or your favorite pie crust recipe
8 cups fresh strawberries stems removed, gently rinsed and patted dry with paper towels
1/2 cup Whole Earth sweetener or 2/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water
1 tsp fresh orange zest
1/2 tsp salt
For Homemade Whipped Cream:
1 tbsp Whole Earth sweetener or superfine sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

First zest the orange, slice in half and juice. You'll only need 2 tbsp of the juice for the recipe.
Wash and hull all the berries and pat dry.
Slice berries into fourths (around 1/2' pieces).
Place 1/4 of the strawberries in a saucepan and set the rest aside.
Using a potato masher, thoroughly mash the strawberries in the saucepan.
Next, mix the mashed strawberries, orange juice, zest, water, cornstarch, sweetener, and salt.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until mixture has cooked down and thickened. It will become gel-like, resembling the texture of jam. This process only takes about 3-5 minutes. Take off heat and set aside.
Combine cooked berry mixture with remaining berries until thoroughly mixed.
Pour strawberries into cooked pie shell and serve warm or refrigerate for a couple of hours to set.
Make the whipped cream by combining the heavy cream, tbsp of Whole Earth sweetener and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer.
Beat just until stiff peaks form.
Garnish pie with fresh mint and homemade whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

*For this pie, I used the granular Whole Earth stevia and monk fruit blend with erythritol. They have since developed other sweetener options that I haven't tested in this recipe.
