    How to substitute fresh strawberries with frozen ones?

    It’s simple! For this luscious dessert recipe, if you want to use frozen strawberries, make sure to thaw them before using. Allow them to drain in a sieve to remove excess liquid.

    Otherwise, your pie might end up being more watery compared to using fresh strawberries. You can also collect the thawing juice and turn it into a delicious strawberry syrup or coulis!
