Description

This no-bake strawberry pie recipe without Jell-O is made in a graham cracker crust, just as you'd expect, but omits gelatin and uses cornstarch instead.

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh strawberries
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (9 inch) deep-dish graham cracker pie crust
1 (8 ounce) tub whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®)

Directions

1 Slice 3/4 of the strawberries and place in a large bowl.
2 Purée remaining strawberries in a food processor until smooth and transfer to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar, water, cornstarch, and lemon juice; bring to a boil, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Stir continuously until as thick as jam, about 5 minutes more. Pour mixture over sliced strawberries in the bowl and stir to combine filling.
3 Pour filling into graham crust and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours. Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped topping.
