This beautiful pie will be the star of your next Summer get together! It’s incredibly easy to make, even easier if you use a store bought vegan pie crust. No one will guess it’s vegan! I recommend making this pie during strawberry season for the best tasting pie. I picked up some amazingly sweet strawberries at my local Farmer’s Market last week and they were perfect. Luckily I bought a ton because I ended up making this pie a few times to get the recipe just right!
How to make No-Bake Strawberry Pie without Jell-O:
Oftentimes, no bake strawberry pies are made with Jell-O, or gelatin. Well, that’s a no go for vegans, so this version uses cornstarch as a thickener. It’s works perfectly and tastes a lot better than Jell-O, in my opinion! Most of the strawberries are layered right into a pre-baked pie crust, while about 3/4 cup get mashed and then mixed with some sugar, water, cornstarch and lemon juice. This mixture is heated until thick, then poured over the top of the fresh strawberries. Then you simply chill for 4-6 hours so it can firm up and become sliceable.
Can Strawberry Pie be frozen?
This pie can be frozen. When you thaw it the strawberry juices may be extra runny, but that’s not a huge deal.
Can Strawberry Pie be made gluten free?
Yes! The strawberry filling is already gluten free, so you just need a gluten free pie crust. You can use my recipe: Gluten Free Pie Crust, another recipe you love, or a store bought vegan gluten free crust if you can find one.
