Fresh Strawberry Pie

This easy berry pie is perfect for spring and early summer. Plump, sweet strawberries are in season right now and I can’t get enough of them!

Aside from the crust, this is a no bake pie that’s great for potlucks and gatherings. I was surprised to hear that this recipe is considered an old fashioned pie these days. It’s funny, because when I was a kid this wasn’t old fashioned yet!

• Cornstarch
• Water
• Strawberry gelatin
• Fresh strawberries, stems removed and quartered
• Canned whipped cream

How to Make this Gorgeous Pie

You’re going to love this easy recipe. Sure, there’s a little cooking on the stove involved, and you do have to pre bake the crust. But the rest of the work is done in the fridge. 

1. Follow baking instructions on pie crust package. Cool completely on a wire rack.
2. In a saucepan whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Slowly add the water and whisk until smooth.

3. Bring mixture to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in jello until dissolved.

4. Refrigerate until slightly cooled, 15-20 minutes.
5. Arrange sliced strawberries in the baked and cooled crust.

6. Pour the gelatin mixture over the berries and chill it in the refrigerate until set.

7. Garnish top outer edges of pie with dollops of whipped cream.
