    Fresh Strawberry Pie without Jello is bursting with natural flavor and so easy and quick to make from scratch. This simple but so delicious dessert recipe is always a hit especially when served with a big dollop of whipped cream on top!

    Fresh Strawberry Pie without Jello is so easy to make from scratch and tastes amazingly flavorful. This pie recipe is perfect for summer because it can be made without turning the oven on. You can use a store-bought pie crust or a no-bake graham cracker crust as a base (or go the fancy route and make your own pie crust).

    My homemade Strawberry Pie is loaded with juicy, fresh strawberries and made with a strawberry glaze that is made without gelatin. Making a glaze without Jello lets the natural flavor of the strawberries be the star!

    This Fresh Strawberry Pie is the perfect spring and summer dessert made with simple ingredients! Top it with a big dollop of whipped cream and you have an easy dessert that everyone will love.

    Tips and Tricks for Making the Best Fresh Strawberry Pie

    • I used a homemade pie crust for this recipe but you can also use a Graham Cracker Crust or a store-bought pie crust to save time.
    • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality strawberries. The strawberries are the star of this recipe so look for the freshest strawberries you can find that don’t have any bruises or discoloration.
    • This pie tastes best on the same day! The longer it sits the higher the risk of the juicy strawberries making the pie crust soggy. See my tips for avoiding a soggy crust below!
    • Make sure to stir the cornstarch mixture continuously for 2-3 minutes until it is thick and translucent. You don’t want it to be clumpy.
    • This pie won’t be as sturdy because it is made without gelatin but it will not ooze all over after cutting if you keep it refrigerated and serve it straight from the fridge.
    • Don’t forget the whipped cream! Strawberries and cream are a match made in heaven!!

    Try this trick to avoid a soggy bottom pie crust

    To avoid a soggy pie crust you can seal the crust by painting melted chocolate in the bottom and inside of cooled pie crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set the chocolate before adding the strawberries.

    Tools used for making this Homemade Strawberry Pie

    Pie Dish: This is my everyday pie dish but if I want to use a fancier one this is my go-to pie dish for guests.
    Strawberry Huller: This little tool makes hulling strawberries super easy and it’s safe for kids. It works best on medium and larger strawberries.
    Hand Mixer: If you have problems with whipping cream try using a hand mixer. I prefer to use this one instead of my stand mixer to whip cream because I have more control and don’t over-whip the cream.

      Terrific recipe!! Next time I would mix the strawberries into the glaze before placing in the pie crust to make it all hang together when serving. SO good!!

      My family loves strawberry pie. I don’t know what I did wrong when mixing the sugar and corn starch. I blended the strawberries too .The glaze was lumpy and not clear. I’ll try it again sometime.
      Thank you ;-)

        I wouldn’t recommend freezing this pie because of the fresh berries.

      This is the BEST strawberry pie I’ve ever had. I had gotten some strawberries and decided to make this pie and we ate it in no time. It was super easy to make and tasted SOOOO GOOOD! Next week, I got more strawberries and made another pie and discovered the first one wasn’t a fluke–the second was just as delicious as the first! Now I can’t wait for strawberries to be in season again for more pies!

      The recipe asks me to use the remaining strawberries (the ones not mashed) and arrange them around the pie crust. I don’t have any extra strawberries that I can use to arrange on the pie crust. I mostly have mashed strawberries, but no extras.

        Not sure why you wouldn’t have any strawberries left? This recipe calls for 6 cups of strawberries. 1 cup of those 6 cups is mashed, so you should have 5 cups of strawberries left.
