My fresh strawberry pie is one of those desserts that looks gorgeous but is so easy to make. A premade pie crust, juicy, fresh strawberries, and a quick homemade glaze come together to make a glossy, beautiful pie!
A Summer Classic for a Reason
- Fresh Strawberry Flavor: This pie lets sweet, juicy strawberries be the star, which makes every bite taste bright and fresh.
- A Classic Summer Dessert: It’s perfect for BBQs, potlucks, holidays, or any time you have beautiful strawberries to use.
- So Pretty on the Table: The glossy strawberry filling looks gorgeous with almost no extra effort, especially with a little whipped cream on top.
Strawberry Pie Ingredients
- 9-Inch Pie Crust: You can use either a premade or homemade pie crust here.
- 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!
- Fresh Whipping Cream: (Optional) The perfect creamy topping.
How to Make a Homemade Strawberry Pie
It only takes 3 simple steps to whip up this fresh strawberry pie recipe! It’s so flaky and buttery with juicy strawberries in every bite. You’re going to love it! Want a creamy version? Make my Strawberry Cream Cheese 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.
