Strawberry Pie Ingredients

Strawberry Jello Mix: Adds extra berry flavor and also helps the filling set up properly. This way, it can be cut into uniform slices without making a mess.
Strawberries: Fresh is the way to go!

How to Make a Homemade Strawberry Pie

Blind Bake the Crust: Bake the store-bought crust according to package directions. To help the crust stay in place while baking, line it with aluminum foil, then bake for 8 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Strawberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch, sugar, and water and whisk until smooth. Bring it to a boil and whisk for 2 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Add Gelatin and Cool: Remove from the heat and stir in the strawberry Jell-O until dissolved. Let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes.
Strawberry Pie Filling: Place the strawberries in the crust, then pour the cooled glaze mixture over them.
Chill: Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight until set. Serve strawberry pie with fresh whipping cream.

Can You Use a Homemade Crust?

Yes! I love using my Grandma’s Perfect Pie Crust for homemade pies. It doesn’t take long at all to make and adds a little more flavor and thickness to the pie.
