How to Make Fresh Strawberry Pie
- In a medium saucepan, mix together the sugar and corn starch; making sure to blend in the corn starch completely. Add boiling water, and cook over medium-high heat until the mixture starts to thicken (about 6-7 minutes).
- Remove the saucepan from heat, add jello mix, and stir until smooth. Let mixture completely cool to room temperature (if you don’t let it cool, it will cook the strawberries. To quicken the cooling time, place in the fridge for a couple of minutes).
- Pour strawberries into prepared pie crust.
- Pour cooled gel mixture over strawberries.
- Refrigerate until set, at least 4-5 hours.
- Serve topped with whipped cream, if desired.

Make this easy strawberry pie recipe your own
You can always toss the cups of strawberries in a little bit of lemon juice or lemon zest in a large bowl to add a little sour to the sweetness of this fresh fruit pie.
If you don’t want to use a premade pie, feel free to make your own homemade pie crust with a pastry blender to go with this recipe. Make a graham cracker crust or a flaky crust depending on what you prefer. However, if you use a flaky buttery crust, the crust will need blind baking with dry beans in a pie pan since this pie is not baked.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
I tried this but my pie never set. It was runny and very liquidy. (If that’s even a word)I used boiling water. I did everything like it said. Not sure what I did wrong.
You should have been able to see it thicken as you were cooking it when the cornstarch was added. You may just need to add a little more.
Is the nutrition for one serving or the whole pie? Asking because it seemed like a lot for one slice. Thanks!
Thanks for catching that. It showed a 9 inch pie crust, but the system read it as “9 pie crusts”. So I was able to fix that. Now it shows the correct nutrition facts.
What a hit! Such a delicious summer pie!
