Description

This Homemade Fresh Strawberry Pie is a delightful no-bake dessert perfect for summer. Featuring a crisp pre-baked crust filled with a luscious mixture of fresh strawberries and a glossy strawberry gelatin glaze, this pie is easy to make and sure to impress. Topped with optional whipped cream, it’s a refreshing treat that combines sweetness with a vibrant berry flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust

Filling

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tbsp strawberry gelatin powder (such as Jell-O)
  • 5 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and halved if large)

Topping (Optional)

  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gelatin Mixture: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add the water while stirring until the mixture is smooth to prevent lumps.
  2. Cook the Filling: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly to avoid scorching, until it thickens and begins to bubble. This process usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Strawberry Gelatin: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin powder. Continue stirring until the gelatin is fully dissolved, creating a glossy, thick glaze. Allow this mixture to cool slightly to avoid cooking the fresh fruit when combined.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Evenly arrange the fresh hulled (and halved if large) strawberries in the pre-baked pie crust, making sure they are distributed uniformly for balanced flavor and appearance.
  5. Pour the Gelatin Over Strawberries: Gently pour the slightly cooled gelatin mixture over the strawberries, using a spoon if necessary to ensure all berries are coated and the surface is smooth.
  6. Chill the Pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin sets firmly and the pie is fully chilled.
  7. Serve: Once set, slice and serve the pie chilled. Optionally, garnish each slice with whipped cream for added richness and presentation.

Notes

  • Use the ripest, sweetest strawberries available for maximum flavor and natural sweetness.
  • You can substitute a graham cracker crust for a different texture and flavor profile.
  • For an extra glossy finish, lightly brush the berries with warm jelly before serving.
