Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and press it firmly against the sides and bottom of the dish. Trim any excess crust.
- Using a fork, prick the bottom of the crust to prevent it from puffing up during baking. Bake the crust for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk until well combined.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the lemon mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.
- Next, add the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and kiwi to the cream mixture. Stir gently to ensure all the fruits are coated in the creamy lemon mixture.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the cooled pie crust and spread it evenly.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Once set, remove the plastic wrap and serve the fresh fruit salad pie chilled. You can garnish it with additional fruit slices or whipped cream, if desired.
