Perfect for warm weather gatherings or a sweet ending to any meal, this pie is both easy to make and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

For the filling

• 1 package strawberry Jell-O (3 oz)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup hot water
• 1 cup cold water
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)

For the crust

• 1 pre-made pie shell (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberry Jell-O, sugar, and flour.
2. Pour in 1 cup of hot water and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly.

🍳 Be sure to keep stirring to avoid lumps! If it gets too thick, just add a splash more hot water to loosen it up.

3. Remove from heat and let it cool for a moment before adding the cold water.
4. Gently fold in the sliced fresh strawberries.

🍓 Fresh strawberries are ideal, but you can use frozen ones if that's what you have on hand. If using frozen, let them thaw and drain any excess liquid.

5. Pour the strawberry mixture into the pre-made pie shell and refrigerate until set, about 2-4 hours.
6. Serve chilled, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream!

🍰 For a twist, consider adding a hint of vanilla extract to the filling for enhanced flavor, or top with shaved chocolate for a decorative touch!

Variations

• Creamy Strawberry Pie: Add a layer of cream cheese mixed with powdered sugar and a dash of vanilla to the pie shell before pouring in the strawberry mixture for a rich, creamy texture.
• Graham Cracker Crust: Swap the traditional pie shell for a graham cracker crust for a sweet and crunchy alternative.
• Berry Medley: Experiment by adding other berries, such as blueberries or raspberries, to the filling for a colorful and flavorful twist!

Enjoy your homemade Strawberry Pie and watch it disappear from the table in no time! 🥳🍰
