delicious and bursting with flavor this Strawberry Pie is an old-fashioned recipe that has minimal ingredients intense strawberry flavor and absolutely addicting.
So we have been gearing up with all things strawberry lately. Now I absolutely adore all the strawberry desserts like love them. This Strawberry Pie is one of my favorites ever.
My family is huge pie lovers and when it comes to strawberry pie they gobble it right up. You can check out another version of one of our favorite ones with this Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie recipe we make often.
We like to pick strawberries in the summer and freeze them for later use in things such as smoothies crisps/cobblers and milkshakes.
Now the secret to this recipe being so amazing is that it uses Strawberry Jello. Yes jello. If you are into old-school recipes then this one may be a familiar one for you.
INGREDIENTS YOU NEED:
- Pie Crust – refrigerated frozen or homemade
- Strawberries
- Strawberry jello
- Cornstarch
- Sugar
- Water
- Whipped cream
That sounds super easy right? Well it’s because it is. We like to use a frozen or refrigerated pie crust because it makes things just a little more simple around here but you can absolutely make your own for this recipe.
Strawberry Pie is such a fresh and delicious dessert that we make it literally like once a month in the Spring and Summertime. Now it really doesn’t have to be seasonal because I wholeheartedly thing nothing needs to be seasoning.
I love to grill in the winter being from Minnesota it’s kinda hard to use a grill in knee deep snow so we invested in an indoor smokeless grill that works wonders.
So I’m of the opinion that if you crave it make it don’t depend on the season to dictate what you eat!
HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY PIE:
- Bake pie crust according to package directions remove from oven and let cool.
- Meanwhile in large saucepan add sugar and water and heat over medium heat slowly whisk in your cornstarch to incorporate well to make sure you don’t have any lumps.
- Stir continuously for about 4-5 minutes until the mixture thickens and turns a little clear.
- Remove from heat and whisk in your strawberry jello until completely dissolved let cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled add in your strawberries and toss to coat evenly then pour into prepared pie crust.
- Place in refrigerator to set for about 2-3 hours.
- Dollop with whipped cream if desired.

See how easy is this recipe?!?!? Literally we live off easy recipes around our house and if you have been a reader for any length of time the hardest recipe you will probably see on my site is some of my cakes.
But I love myself a good cake so I cant shy away from making a little longer recipe when it comes to them because cake is life. But I guess I can argue that with this Strawberry Pie recipe as well.
This Strawberry Pie is the perfect dessert to bring with you to your Memorial Day party 4th of July party potluck get together or just because you want to indulge yourself there is always room for pie.
