This strawberry pie tastes JUST like the classic pie from Frisch’s Big Boy/Shoneys! It uses 6 simple ingredients, and a pre-made pie crust to make it easy!
Ingredients
- ▢1 frozen pie crust (deep dish if you can find it)
- ▢1 1/4 cups water
- ▢1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- ▢3 Tbsp cornstarch
- ▢3 Tbsp dry strawberry gelatin (like Jello – about 1/2 a 3 oz box)
- ▢2 cups sliced strawberries (sliced in half or quarters, depending on size of berries)
- ▢whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prick bottom and sides of frozen pie crust with fork, and bake according to package directions. If you’re worried about the crust puffing up, before baking, place a piece of parchment paper inside the crust and add about a cup of dried beans or rice. Let cool.
- To a small sauce pan, add water, sugar, and cornstarch and whisk to combine. Heat over MED heat until boiling, reduce heat a bit and simmer several minutes, until thickened.
- Whisk in dry strawberry gelatin and set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.
- Wash and slice strawberries, then add to cooled pie crust. Pour strawberry gelatin mixture over strawberries. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, until set.
- Serve cold, with whipped cream if desired.
