Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 3-4 tablespoons ice water
• 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup fresh rhubarb, chopped
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Directions

1. To make the pie crust, in a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly drizzle in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish, trim the edges, and crimp the edges with a fork. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the crust and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool.
3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and flour. Toss until the fruit is well coated. Set aside for 15 minutes to macerate.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
5. Fold the whipped cream into the macerated strawberry-rhubarb mixture until well combined. Pour the creamy filling into the cooled pie crust and spread it evenly.
6. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
7. Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberry slices and rhubarb pieces, if desired.
8. Slice and serve the delicious strawberry rhubarb cream pie.
9. Enjoy!
