Wash fresh strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems.

Dice the strawberries into big chunks instead of slicing them.

Add less than 1/2 cup sugar to the diced strawberries to sweeten them.

Let the sugar dissolve to create a strawberry juice.

Add a small splash of vanilla extract to the strawberries.

Pour the entire container of strawberry glaze over the strawberries and mix well to combine.

Chill heavy whipping cream in the freezer for about 10 minutes before whipping.

Whip the cold heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks, adding vanilla extract and powdered sugar (between 1/2 cup and 1 cup) to sweeten it.

Pour the strawberry filling into the cooled pie crust.

Pipe or spread the whipped cream on top of the strawberry filling.
