  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (shortbread crust)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (shortbread crust)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries (diced, plus whole for garnish)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (custard layer)
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (custard layer)
  • Whipped topping (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shortbread crust ingredients: flour, cold butter, sugar, and salt. Blend until crumbly, then press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden.
  3. While the crust is baking, whisk together eggs, sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla in another bowl. Gently fold in diced strawberries and flour.
