Description
A delightful no-bake dessert featuring fresh strawberries and a sweet glaze, perfect for warm weather.
Ingredients
- 1 deep dish pie crust (pre-baked and cooled completely)
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons cornstarch
- 6 ounce package strawberry jello (or 2–3 ounce boxes)
- 3 pounds fresh strawberries (stems removed, quartered, do not use frozen)
- Whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions
- This recipe requires a deep dish pie plate (2 & 1/4-inch deep). If you are using a store bought frozen pie crust, you’ll need to cut the filling recipe in half. Bake your pie crust and allow to cool completely before filling.
- In a medium saucepan, bring water, sugar, and cornstarch to a boil, stirring, until thick and clear. Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry jello packet. Mix well and let cool.
- You want the sauce to be cooled or the jello won’t set properly. Once you make the sauce, you can set the pot over ice (in your sink!) which cools the glaze faster. Whisk it occasionally. As it cools, it will thicken a bit more, but should still be pourable.
- Fold in strawberries.
- Pour into pie shell.
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill until completely set (at least 3 hours).
- Slice and serve with whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the pie crust is completely cooled before adding the filling.
- Do not use frozen strawberries for the best texture and flavor.
- Chilling the pie for at least 3 hours is crucial for proper setting.
