EASY FLUFFY STRAWBERRY PIE

My grandmother made this pie every year for Thanksgiving. She would make it with a homemade pie crust, but I love it with a graham cracker crust. Either way is great! It’s good with any type of pie crust. It’s perfect for a very sweet and light dessert. It just melts in your mouth! Enjoy! It does not freeze well.

This was O.K. but nothing sets it apart from other strawberry Jello pies that I’ve had. Set your timer for 10 minutes for the gelatin mixture to thicken because I checked it at 15 minutes, and it solidified…had to throw away and start over. On the positive side, this is easy to put together. I would have preferred a regular pie crust, but that’s just a personal preference. Sorry, this tastes pretty good but just pretty ordinary.

Being a diabetic I made a couple of changes to this recipe substituting sugar with Splenda, regular jello to sugar-free and used sugar-free Cool Whip. This is a refreshing delightful pie. My family loved it.

I am so pleased with this pie! I read the review where it came out like mousse…I did not have that problem. I loved the fact that there were so many berries in the pie! I have had the leftovers in the fridge for three days and there is no pulling away from the crust or weeping. The only thing I changed was I used watermelon flavored gelatin (store was sold out of strawberry…go figure!). I will definitely make this again…what a great summer pie!

This no bake turned out great. Very refreshing after dinner treat. There were 4 of us at dinner and none of pie was left over.

Made this after we picked strawberries with the kids. I had too many strawberries and was looking for some fast and easy no bake recipes. This was perfect. It was so refreshing and yummy. I will be definitely making it from now on.
