Description

This classic Strawberry Pie with Jello is a delightful and refreshing dessert featuring a flaky baked pie crust filled with fresh, juicy strawberries and a glossy strawberry-flavored gelatin sauce. The pie is chilled until the jello sets perfectly, then topped with a dollop of whipped cream, making it an ideal treat for spring and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Pie

  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store bought or homemade)
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries (washed, hulled, and quartered)

Strawberry Jello Sauce

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 (3 oz.) box strawberry jello mix

Finishing

  • Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Bake the Pie Crust: Preheat your oven according to your pie crust recipe or package instructions. Bake the 9-inch pie crust until it is golden and fully cooked. Once baked, let it cool slightly.
  2. Arrange the Strawberries: Take the fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and quartered, and evenly arrange them inside the cooled baked pie crust, ensuring a nice even layer.
  3. Prepare the Strawberry Jello Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of corn starch. Bring the mixture to a steady boil over medium heat, stirring frequently, and continue boiling for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Add the 3 oz. box of strawberry jello mix to the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium. Let it simmer for 1 more minute, whisking constantly to fully dissolve and blend the jello into the mixture.
  4. Pour the Sauce Over Strawberries: Slowly pour the warm strawberry jello sauce evenly over the strawberries in the pie crust. Aim to cover the tops of all the berries without fully submerging them. If the sauce volume is too much for your pie crust and berries, only add what fits to avoid spilling and discard the excess sauce.
  5. Chill the Pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for about 2 hours to allow the jello to fully set and firm up.
  6. Serve with Whipped Cream: Once set, remove the pie from the refrigerator and top with whipped cream. Serve the strawberry pie either cold or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • The pie crust can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
  • Ensure strawberries are evenly arranged so the jello sauce distributes well.
  • Whisk the jello mixture constantly when simmering to avoid lumps.
  • If you prefer a firmer jello layer, chill the pie longer than 2 hours.
  • This pie is best enjoyed within 24 hours for freshness.
