This pie is bursting with strawberry goodness - perfect for a summertime soiree. Easy to make and bake, the pie can also be made ahead 1 day, but hold off on adding the topping until shortly before serving. The light, lemony yogurt cream on top completes this pretty dessert, making it the star of table and the ideal ending to almost any meal. And the creamy topping removes any temptation to serve the pie à la mode! Adding cornstarch to the berries and juice preparation is what binds the pie's filling, and allows it to set up and gel in the fridge and freezer. We've called for a graham cracker crust here, but you could also use a standard deep dish frozen crust or a nutty whole wheat one, too.
