The Easiest Fresh Strawberry Pie
Description
This recipe uses a prebaked 9-inch pie crust as the base. The filling is prepared by whisking cornstarch, sugar, and water in a saucepan, then boiling the mixture until it thickens. Strawberry-flavored gelatin is stirred in to dissolve fully, contributing a bright color and strawberry essence. After cooling this filling, fresh sliced strawberries are placed into the pie crust and the cooled filling is poured over them evenly. Refrigerating the pie for several hours allows the filling to set firmly, holding the strawberries in place with a smooth, slightly gelatinous consistency.
The pie is finished with fresh whipped cream to add a light, creamy contrast to the sweet strawberry filling and flaky crust. This dessert is best served chilled and makes a refreshing finale to a meal.
The notes indicate the recipe was originally posted in 2019 with a recent update, reflecting ongoing refinement.
